Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Greater Manchester Combined Authority is procuring an integrated workplace management system (IWMS) to bring land and property asset information for the GMCA group into one centrally controlled database. The system is intended to support asset management, planned and reactive maintenance, compliance, mobile working, lease and estate-event management, case management, asset condition and lifecycle tracking, reporting, performance monitoring and project portfolio tracking. Concerto is to be the core platform and connect with other corporate systems, including the future outsourced statutory compliance provider for Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service. This is an estates software and support service, covering delivery across North West England.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Concerto Support Services Ltd. The Greater Manchester Combined Authority made the award on 30 September 2026. The award value is £472,300. The contract runs from 30 September 2026 to 29 September 2030, with an optional one-year extension. The authority used a direct award through the NHS Shared Business Services Hard Facilities Management framework, under its integrated workplace management systems category. The stated contract term is three years plus the optional extension, while the recorded contract period spans four years. The tender deadline was 23 July 2026. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises; no further evaluation basis or eligibility conditions are set out in the available process information.

For suppliers competing for a future requirement from this buyer, the award shows demand for a single, GMCA-controlled estates asset database rather than a collection of disconnected tools. A credible solution would need to bring together asset records and support maintenance, statutory compliance monitoring, mobile workforce activity, leases and key events, case management, condition lifecycle planning, reporting and performance monitoring. It would also need to integrate with corporate systems and enable real-time compliance data exchange with the fire service’s compliance provider, as well as track programmes and portfolios of projects. The selected supplier was an SME, and the route used was a framework call-off by direct award, so framework access and the ability to deliver a joined-up IWMS at group scale are relevant commercial signals. The requirement spans software implementation and ongoing service over a multi-year term.
