UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Greater Manchester Combined Authority procured chauffeur services for the Mayor and Deputy Mayor. The requirement covers road transport services, with delivery across the United Kingdom. The work is intended to provide chauffeured journeys for the authority’s senior civic leadership rather than general passenger transport. The buying organisation is Greater Manchester Combined Authority, based in Manchester. This is a service contract suited to businesses that operate chauffeur-driven vehicles and can provide dependable, professional transport for senior public-sector representatives. The requirement may involve journeys beyond Greater Manchester, because the delivery location is recorded as the United Kingdom. Suppliers should therefore consider their ability to provide appropriate coverage, vehicles and driver availability across the country while maintaining a consistent service for the authority’s named users.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition using a three-quote process under the Procurement Act 2023 and the authority’s constitution. One lot was awarded to PRESTIGE CHAUFFEURS LTD. The contract was signed on 31 March 2026 and runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2029. Its value is £45,000 excluding VAT, or £54,000 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The available outcome records the selected supplier and the contract value; the procurement was evaluated through the limited competition route. This is a single-supplier award, so the published value relates to that supplier’s contract and should not be combined with any other lot or award.

This procurement demonstrates established demand from Greater Manchester Combined Authority for professional chauffeur services supporting the Mayor and Deputy Mayor. A credible future competitor would need to provide reliable road transport for senior public-sector passengers, with dependable vehicles, suitably professional drivers and the operational capacity to cover journeys across the United Kingdom. Consistent availability will matter because the service supports high-profile office-holders rather than occasional general transport users. The selected supplier is an SME, showing that the requirement can be delivered by a smaller specialist business rather than only a national transport group. Businesses with an established chauffeur operation, strong service management and the ability to maintain continuity over a multi-year arrangement would be well placed for a similar requirement from this buyer.
