Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process for the GMCA 1952 Corporate Group Assets Review has been completed by the Greater Manchester Combined Authority, a sub-central government public authority. Located at 56 Oxford Street, Manchester, this process focused on advisory services in business and management consultancy. It was carried out without competition, starting with a tender and culminating in a contract award on 11th June 2026. The contract is valued at £33,000 and is classified under the services category. The project aimed to assess and propose recommendations for the Authority’s property estate management, set against the backdrop of broader strategic goals and long-term vision.
