The Commercial and Procurement team supports colleagues across the Combined Authority to get the best outcomes from every contract. Their work helps ensure value for money, delivers social value, and keeps procurement open, competitive, and transparent.
By focusing on commercial excellence, the team plays a key role in supporting economic growth across West Yorkshire. On this page, you’ll hear directly from colleagues as they share their experiences and explain what it’s like to be part of the team.
When I started my career at WYCA the team and organisation couldn’t be better.
They have been really welcoming and have always been ready to help whenever I have a question. Management are very approachable whenever you need advice or guidance on certain areas, there’s no sense of “I cant speak to this manager as they’re too busy or this is a stupid question” Everyone’s more than willing to put time aside for you and pushing for your success. Another massive benefit of working here is the flexible working and flexi-time which promotes a very healthy work-life balance. I find this personally also helps drastically with improved productivity.
The location couldn’t be better as you’re a two-minute walk from Leeds Train Station and are given a MetroCard which makes travelling within West Yorkshire free! A real benefit is no two days are the same here, so it definitely doesn’t get boring.
