UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process conducted by the Greater Manchester Combined Authority focuses on the provision of a software solution to assess supply chain risks, specifically for Greater Manchester Police. Categorised under IT services, this tender was awarded through a direct, below-threshold procurement method without competition in accordance with the GMP's exemption process. The award, tagged as 'contract', was officially signed on 20th May 2025 and is set to be effective until 19th May 2028. The procurement takes place in Manchester, UK, highlighting the regional focus on boosting local public safety agencies with advanced technological solutions.

This contract presents a significant opportunity, particularly for businesses specialising in IT services—such as consulting, software development, and Internet support. Firms like RISK LEDGER LTD., already awarded the contract, demonstrate the potential for small and medium-sized enterprises to thrive by meeting niche public sector needs. As this process involves direct procurement, companies possessing a robust, innovative supply chain risk assessment tool may have greater chances in similar future endeavours with sub-central government authorities like the Greater Manchester Combined Authority.
