Summary of the contracting process

The Greater Manchester Combined Authority commissioned building refurbishment works at Swallow Close in Tameside and Carr Lane in Wigan. The work is intended to bring both properties up to Ofsted registration standards and make them ready for occupancy, supporting Project Skyline. The requirement covers refurbishment at two named sites in Greater Manchester; the published scope does not break the work down into individual trades or building elements. This is a building construction works contract, including works associated with preparing premises for use. Delivery is in Tameside and Wigan, in North West England.

The procurement has been awarded to Rosslee Construction Ltd. The Greater Manchester Combined Authority made the award on 18 May 2026 for £420,149.01. The contract period runs from 3 August to 23 October 2026. The requirement was procured by direct award as a call-off from the Crown Commercial Service Construction Works and Associated Services framework, under its building works and minor associated civil engineering provision for North England. The tender was complete, with a submission deadline of 2 June 2026. No lot split is recorded. The published procurement data gives no evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility requirements beyond the framework route.

This award shows that the Greater Manchester Combined Authority uses the Crown Commercial Service construction framework to commission refurbishment that prepares properties for Ofsted registration and occupancy. A future competitor would need to be eligible for the relevant framework provision and able to deliver building refurbishment, with any associated minor civil engineering, across sites in Tameside and Wigan. The requirement demonstrates demand for coordinated work at more than one property, aligned with a wider programme and readiness for use. The award went to an SME, and the opportunity was marked suitable for SMEs, indicating that a smaller construction business can be positioned to undertake work of this type. Relevant experience would include refurbishing premises to meet registration and compliance standards and managing delivery against programme requirements.
