Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process was initiated by the Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) with the title "GMCA 1792.4 GGF Valuations" in the services category specifically relating to evaluation consultancy. This procurement, located in the United Kingdom, was conducted to facilitate Red Book Valuations, which are crucial for the risk management of the GMCA Good Growth Fund investments. The process reached the award stage on 5th June 2026. Under legal reference 2023/54, the tender was pursued through a direct procurement method, specifically a below threshold arrangement without competition. The contract, valued at £54,000 excluding VAT, commenced on 20th May 2026 and will conclude on 19th November 2026.

This procurement offers significant potential for businesses involved in consultancy services for public authorities, especially those capable of delivering specialised valuation and market analysis services. The tender was awarded to Knight Frank LLP, a large-scale enterprise with expertise in evaluation consultancy, indicating opportunities for similar businesses to target niche procurement needs within sub-central government entities. Companies proficient in financial valuation, particularly those experienced in regulatory compliance and market trend assessments, would be well-positioned to compete in such tenders in the future.
