The Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) has awarded a contract related to the "GMCA 824 Access Road" project, aiming to improve infrastructure around the Chichester Street Recycling Centre site in Rochdale by constructing a new access road. The project, which falls under the construction industry category, involves various works such as traffic management, earthworks, site boundary demarcation, and drainage connectivity. The procurement process followed an open procedure. The contract's initial tender period ended on 23rd August 2024, with the award taking place on 15th October 2024, and Donellon Contractors Ltd, an SME based in the UK, was selected as the supplier. The contract period ranges from 17th October 2024 to 15th July 2025. This project is classified under CPV code 45000000, representing construction work, and encompasses a completion value of £155,499.48 GBP.

The focus on SMEs and VCSEs (voluntary, community, and social enterprises) demonstrates GMCA's dedication to broadening access and inclusivity for smaller businesses within the public procurement space. Companies equipped with the necessary resources and expertise can leverage this opportunity to enhance their portfolio, gain experience in public sector projects, and potentially establish enduring relationships with local government bodies.
