UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process was conducted by the Greater Manchester Combined Authority, focusing on providing consumables for ID card production, security lanyards, and maintenance services for ID card printers. This process falls under the public authority - sub-central government category and took place in Manchester, United Kingdom (UKD33). The tender, initiated by Greater Manchester Police, followed a direct procurement method below the threshold without competition due to the exemption process. The tender, identified with the code Ex779, was completed with the contract being signed on 11th May 2026, and is scheduled to last until 31st May 2027. The contract holds a gross amount value of £18,000 and involves goods in the office and computing machinery sector, excluding furniture and software packages.

This tender presents growth opportunities for businesses specialising in the supply of office and computing machinery and equipment, particularly those that can offer related consumables and maintenance services. The contract was awarded to DIGITAL ID LTD, a large-scale supplier based in Stockport, suggesting that businesses with robust capabilities in similar industries, such as security devices and services, might find opportunities in future similar procurement processes overseen by public authorities like the Greater Manchester Combined Authority. This type of procurement is particularly suitable for large enterprises capable of delivering specific goods and services directly, as indicated by the direct procurement method used without open competition.
