Summary of the contracting process

The Greater Manchester Combined Authority has successfully completed the procurement process for "GMCA 1939 Chauffeurs Services" intended for the Mayor and Deputy Mayor. This procurement falls under the services category, specifically road transport services, and was conducted using a limited competition method, known locally as the "3 Quote Process," adhering to the PA23 Regulations and Constitution. The tender was managed at the sub-central government level, with the contracting authority headquartered at 56 Oxford Street, Manchester, UKD33. The contract period spans from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2029, with an expected total gross value of £54,000.

This tender presents a notable opportunity for businesses within the chauffeur services industry, especially those in the Greater Manchester area or with the ability to provide services across the United Kingdom. While the procurement method involved below-threshold, limited competition, it can be an advantageous entry point for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) similar to the awarded supplier, Prestige Chauffeurs Ltd. SMEs in the service sector, especially those offering road transport solutions, stand to benefit significantly from engaging in similar public sector procurement opportunities, fostering potential growth through new contracts and expanded market reach. Businesses should consider leveraging such opportunities to secure long-term contracts and enhance their portfolio within public sectors.
