Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process titled "GMCA 1719 Resilience Service" was conducted by the Greater Manchester Combined Authority, a sub-central government public authority based in Manchester, United Kingdom. The contract involves providing a resilience service to the Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service to address unexpected situations requiring contingency fire-fighting solutions. This procurement falls under the "services" category, specifically focusing on firefighting services, and is located in the UKD3 region. The procurement was executed using a direct method without competition, under a special "light-touch" regime, and is at the Award stage. The contract is valued at £503,619.79, extended over a period from 17 June 2026 to 14 June 2028.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specializing in security and emergency response services, particularly those capable of providing effective contingency measures for firefighting. Although the procurement was executed directly and did not involve competition, large-scale companies such as Securitas Security Services (UK) Limited were considered suitable suppliers for these services, indicating potential business growth for companies within this niche market. Such businesses that can offer comprehensive and reliable emergency services may find similar future opportunities in public sector contracts, especially within local government and authority-led initiatives.
