Summary of the contracting process

The Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) has awarded a contract titled "GMCA 1103 - Legal Services to support delivery of GMCA's Brownfield Programme" within the business services category, specifically focusing on property and construction law. The programme is an initiative under GM's trailblazer devolution deal aimed at developing challenging brownfield sites to unlock the construction of at least 7,000 new homes in the region. The procurement process has reached the award stage, with the tender period concluding on 22 June 2024, and the contract period running from 15 July 2024 to 14 July 2027. This project, valued at £498,000, utilises a further competition under the CCS framework RM6240 - Public Sector Legal Services.

This tender presents significant opportunities for legal firms specialising in property and construction law. Given the substantial funding and the project's focus on overcoming market barriers in brownfield development, mid-sized to large legal firms with experience in public sector contracts will find this project particularly appealing. The scope of work involves navigating complex legal challenges associated with land assembly and mitigating negative externalities, thus providing ample growth opportunities for businesses adept in these areas. Suppliers such as Addleshaw Goddard LLP, Browne Jacobson LLP, and DWF Law LLP have already been engaged, indicating the level of expertise required for this tender. SMEs are also deemed suitable to compete, though VCSEs are not explicitly included in the suitability criteria.

Notice Title

GMCA 1103 - Legal Services to support delivery of GMCA's Brownfield Programme

Notice Description

Greater Manchester Combined Authority is seeking to procure legal services related to the allocation of projects under the GM Brownfield Programme via a further competition under the CCS framework RM6240 - Public Sector Legal Services (lot 2a) Property and Construction specialism. As a relevant framework supplier, you are invited to participate in this further competition. The GM Brownfield Programme derives from GM's trailblazer devolution deal. As part of this deal, the Department for Levelling up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC) have allocated PS150 million of Brownfield Infrastructure and Land funding to GM to unlock at least 7,000 new homes. The aim of this funding is to tackle the market's failure to build housing and mixed-use developments on challenging brownfield sites that demonstrate existing negative externalities, difficult land assembly, imperfect information and other market barriers which prevent the private sector taking them on alone. This supports the Government's ambition to prioritise development on brownfield land, particularly for the regeneration of our cities and towns, alongside increasing housing supply and wider growth as part of the Levelling Up Missions and the Government's ambition of delivering 300,000 homes per year to help create a more sustainable and affordable housing market.
