UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process conducted by Greater Manchester Combined Authority, titled "NPPF (Work Based Assessment)," is focussed on education and training services within the Greater Manchester area. The process was initiated under the College of Policing National Promotion Process Framework and contracted directly through Greater Manchester Police's exemption process. This procurement process is classified as "Below threshold - without competition," and the contract, worth £120,000 gross, was awarded to the City and Guilds of London Institute. The procurement stage, classified as 'award' and 'contract,' is complete, with the contract period running from 13th August 2025 to 31st December 2027. This project reflects a direct procurement method aimed at supporting the work-based assessments essential for police promotion qualifications.

This tender offers valuable business growth opportunities for institutions specialising in education and training services, particularly those capable of delivering high-quality assessments and qualifications within specified frameworks. Larger organisations, like the City and Guilds of London Institute, would be particularly well-suited due to their established infrastructure and expertise. By participating in such tenders, businesses can align themselves with prominent public authority-driven initiatives, potentially leading to long-term partnerships and increased visibility within the public sector. Although this specific contract did not involve competition, understanding the criteria and exemption processes can position businesses advantageously for future opportunities, especially within the Greater Manchester region's education sector.
