UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement contract initiated by the Greater Manchester Combined Authority involves providing "Forensic Analysis Training for Collision Investigators." This contract falls under the vocational training services industry category and is specifically designed to meet the needs of the Greater Manchester Police. The procurement process, executed under the title "Forensic Analysis Training for Collision Investigators," has reached the Award stage and was awarded through a direct, below-threshold process without competition. The contract commenced on 5th November 2025 and will run until 31st March 2031, unless the financial threshold is reached sooner. The services will be delivered in the United Kingdom, specifically within the region coded as UKD3. The total contract value is £30,000, with a signed commencement date aligning with approval of an exemption from GMP Contract Standing Orders.

This tender presents a unique business opportunity, particularly to large enterprises specialising in vocational training services within the public safety sector. With an emphasis on direct procurement, the absence of a competitive bidding process suggests that businesses with established connections or those already familiar with the equipment used in Force are well-suited to fulfil such training needs. Additionally, firms providing similar services may find value in understanding the procurement preferences of the Greater Manchester Combined Authority, thereby positioning themselves favourably for future opportunities within the public sector training domain.
