Summary of the contracting process

The Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) recently completed the procurement process for the evaluation of the ESF Skills for Growth Programme. The evaluation aims to assess the Programme's outcomes and outputs and provide in-depth analysis of interactions with providers and businesses. The procurement method used was selective, with a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract period runs from March 10, 2021, to September 30, 2023, with a contract value of £142,725. The procurement was for education and training services in the North West region of the United Kingdom.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses, especially SMEs and VCSEs, interested in providing education and training services. Companies with expertise in evaluation services and experience in working with public programmes would be well-suited to compete. The GMCA, as the buying organisation, sought a partner to generate learnings from the Programme and assess its design and delivery model. The successful supplier, YORK CONSULTING LLP, is involved in carrying out the evaluation, indicating that specialized firms within the education sector could find growth opportunities through similar public procurement contracts.
