Summary of the contracting process

The Greater Manchester Combined Authority has completed the procurement process for the project titled "GMCA 1607 - Manchester Day at UK Pavilion," which involves the production and technical support for an event at the UK House, Osaka World Expo, 2025. This falls under the industry category of business and management consultancy services. The procurement method used was a direct award, resulting in a contract valued at GBP 53,030.44. The contracting process progressed to the award stage on 2nd February 2025 with Bray Leino Events serving as the supplier. The contract period is set to commence on 1st March 2025 and conclude on 30th June 2025 with delivery locations specified across British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Isle of Man, Europe, and the United Kingdom.

This tender represents an opportunity for businesses specialising in event management and consultancy services to participate in high-profile international events. Despite the procurement being directly awarded on this occasion, future opportunities may emerge from such events. Larger organisations in the business consultancy and event management sectors, who can handle multiple international delivery locations, would be well-suited to compete in future tenders from the Greater Manchester Combined Authority or similar public entities. The international dimension of the contract suggests an opportunity for businesses with expertise in multi-location service delivery.
