Summary of the contracting process

Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council procured a brokerage service for the One Stockport Construction Hub. The provider acts as a central delivery partner, connecting construction contractors, employment and skills providers, education and training organisations, voluntary and community groups, residents and learners. The service supports employment, training, engagement and progression opportunities generated by construction and regeneration activity in Stockport. It also helps contractors plan, deliver and evidence work-related social value commitments, including requirements linked to Council contracts and private developments with planning agreements. Core activities include stakeholder coordination, inclusive engagement, data collection and performance reporting, risk management, contract review participation, and sharing intelligence to improve the Hub. This is a construction-related brokerage and business consultancy service delivered for Stockport and its communities.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following an open procedure. One lot was evaluated using 90% quality and 10% price: quality included methodology at 37%, experience at 30%, resources at 13% and social value at 20%. The estimated lot value was £140,000 excluding VAT, or £168,000 including VAT. The tender deadline was 5 July 2026 at noon, enquiries closed on 26 June 2026 at 5pm, and the contract was signed on 27 August 2026. Groundwork Greater Manchester was selected. The active contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2028, with a further 12-month extension available to 31 August 2029. The process was identified as suitable for SMEs and VCSEs.

This award demonstrates demand for an integrated construction employment, skills and social value brokerage capability within Stockport. A credible future supplier would need a staffed service able to act as a reliable single point of contact for contractors and support providers, while maintaining effective relationships across education, training, voluntary-sector and community networks. Relevant strengths include brokering employment and training pathways, designing inclusive engagement for residents and learners, and helping contractors evidence their commitments. Suppliers should also be able to manage accurate outcomes data, produce useful performance insight, coordinate stakeholders, solve problems and manage delivery risks. Experience of construction or regeneration programmes, innovative supply-chain engagement, and the capacity to support measurable outcomes at scale would be important.
