Summary of the contracting process

Greater Manchester Combined Authority procured temporary property and estates surveying services for its Children's Services Skyline project. The requirement covered the end-to-end process for sourcing residential property, including identifying opportunities, appraisals, acquisition, planning, refurbishment, letting and engagement with local authorities, together with property life-cycle management. This is a professional property surveying and estates management service, with the classification also describing building services (CPV 71315000). The work supports the provision of residential property for children's services. The awarded activity is described as taking place in the United Kingdom, for a Greater Manchester public authority. Suppliers relevant to this requirement would therefore include property surveyors, estates professionals and specialist property recruitment or resourcing businesses able to provide experienced personnel for a complete residential property acquisition and management process.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, under an exemption for a sole supplier and value for money. HAYS SPECIALIST RECRUITMENT LIMITED was selected for the single lot. The contract was signed on 23 June 2026 and runs from 24 June 2026 to 24 December 2026. Its value is £56,640 excluding VAT, or £67,968 including VAT. The requirement was evaluated through the stated sole-supplier and value-for-money route rather than a competitive tender. The contract is active, and the supplier is providing the six-month temporary property surveying service for the Skyline project.

This award indicates demand from Greater Manchester Combined Authority for specialist property and estates capability supporting children's services. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to manage the full residential property lifecycle rather than provide surveying in isolation: identifying suitable properties, carrying out appraisals, progressing acquisitions, securing planning outcomes, coordinating refurbishment, arranging letting and engaging with local authorities. Experience of lifecycle management and the ability to provide suitably experienced professional surveyors at short notice would be commercially relevant. The procurement also shows that the buyer may use a direct, below-threshold route where a sole supplier can demonstrate value for money, so suppliers should be able to evidence distinctive capability, reliable resourcing and a clear commercial case. Large specialist recruitment or professional services businesses may be well placed where they can combine property expertise with rapid personnel supply.
