Summary of the contracting process

The Greater Manchester Combined Authority has successfully completed the procurement process for the GMCA 1704 - MAGIC (Multi-Agency Gold Incident Command) training project. This initiative focuses on delivering a multi-agency strategic training course designed for Category 1 & 2 organisations, including police, fire services, local authorities, Transport for Greater Manchester, North West Ambulance Service, and the NHS, as specified under the Civil Contingencies Act 2004. The procurement, conducted below the threshold, resulted in a contract to provide three separate courses, with the contract term spanning from 1st January 2026 to 31st December 2026. This project has reached its award and contract stages, with College of Policing Limited being awarded the contract on 10th November 2025. The gross value of the contract amounts to £140,378 throughout its duration.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses involved in the provision of strategic training services, particularly those with expertise in handling public safety and incident command training. Companies that specialise in research and development, consultancy services related to public safety, and multi-agency coordination would find this contract particularly suitable given the demand for tailored training solutions for emergency and public service responders. The opportunity to partner with a well-established entity like the Greater Manchester Combined Authority might also expand a business’s potential client base and solidify its reputation in the public sector.
