Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process was conducted by the Greater Manchester Combined Authority for the provision of "Microsoft Unified Support" services. This contract, classified under IT services (CPV code: 72000000), was designed to support both on-premise and cloud-based Microsoft products for Greater Manchester Police, located in the region UKD3. The procurement stage reached completion with an award made to a sole supplier, Microsoft Limited, under a limited procurement method. The contract, valued at £960,000, was signed on 28th March 2025. The procurement did not involve prior publication due to it falling outside the typical directive scope.

This tender provides substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in IT services, particularly those capable of providing comprehensive support for Microsoft products. While the process utilised a limited procurement method, businesses looking to engage in future tenders with the Greater Manchester Combined Authority should ensure readiness to offer competitive IT solutions, especially in cloud and on-premise environments. Companies that can demonstrate expertise in managing and supporting Microsoft software and services would be well-suited to pursue similar tenders and collaborate with regional authorities in the UK for business growth and development.
