Summary of the contracting process

Salford City Council has completed the procurement process for "Project Skyline," a significant initiative within the Greater Manchester area. This programme aims to enhance residential capacity for ten local authorities by delivering approximately 24 placements across 10 properties specifically designed to support children and young people. The procurement was conducted through a direct method without competition, under the legal basis of UKPGA 2023/54. Based in Manchester, this public authority focuses on sectors within the public authority sub-central government classification. The award for this project was officially made on 8th April 2026, with a contract period extending until 8th April 2031, and potential renewals for an additional 14 months.

Project Skyline presents substantial growth opportunities for businesses in the software package and information systems industry, indicated by the CPV classification "48000000". As the contract involves delivering specific placements and residential capacities, businesses that specialise in providing tailored software solutions and systems integration could greatly benefit. CLEAR CARE SOLUTIONS LIMITED, a small or medium-sized enterprise based in Stafford, has been actively involved in this contract. Small-to-medium enterprises (SMEs) or companies within the region looking to expand their footprint in public sector contracts might find similar opportunities fitting to their profile and capabilities.
