This procurement process was initiated through a direct award method and was concluded with the award stage on 8th December 2025. The contract value is £55,000, and it encompasses services for preparing a Business Case related to the relocation of Freightliner from Trafford Park to ILP North (St Helen's), labelled as "Project Slate." Key dates included the tender period, which ended on 29th August 2025, and the contract period running from 15th September 2025 to 19th December 2025.

This tender provides a substantial opportunity for business growth, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in consultancy and business case development. It presents a chance to engage with a significant urban regeneration project in the Manchester area. Although the contract was awarded to Deloitte LLP, a large-scale company, the focus on consultancy services relevant to urban planning and regeneration projects suggests that similar future tenders could be well-suited for SMEs with expertise in research and development services. Companies in the consultancy sector should monitor procurement activities from the Greater Manchester Combined Authority for potential future projects.
