Summary of the contracting process

The Greater Manchester Combined Authority has completed its procurement process for an E-portfolio system intended to track the progress and completion of various police officer training portfolios. This contract, primarily located in Manchester, falls under the education and training services industry category. It was procured through a direct procurement method without competition, due to it being below the financial threshold. The procurement stage is now in the 'Award' phase, with City & Guilds identified as the supplier. The contract commenced on 26th March 2025 and is set to conclude on 31st March 2026, contingent on the contract's value limits.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses operating within the realm of educational technology services, particularly those specialising in creating sophisticated tracking and reporting systems. Firms capable of constructing secure, compliant, and user-friendly digital portfolios could find these contract opportunities advantageous for growth. Businesses with previous experience working with government or law enforcement agencies would be particularly well-suited to compete in similar future tenders. The involvement in such projects can enhance credibility and expand a company's portfolio of governmental contracts.
