Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, led by Greater Manchester Combined Authority, pertains to the "Riflemans Kit" project managed under the industry category of goods involving clothing, footwear, luggage articles, and accessories. This direct procurement process was conducted below the competition threshold and has now been completed, resulting in an active award. The contract, signed on 4th September 2025, will commence on 17th October 2025 and is set to run until 16th October 2027, with a potential extension for an additional two years, making business continuity a possibility. The delivery is expected to take place in Greater Manchester, UK.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses involved in the manufacturing and supply of defence and clothing equipment to engage with public sector procurement. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) like BRIGANTES CONSULTING LIMITED, the winning supplier, are shown to be well-suited for these opportunities, suggesting that similar enterprises could benefit from participating in future tendering processes, especially for projects that do not require a competitive bid process. The successful engagement in this contract could enhance a company's credentials and open doors for further government contracts.
