Summary of the contracting process

Greater Manchester Combined Authority commissioned estates mapping consultancy to develop a comprehensive database of public buildings across Greater Manchester. The work covers two phases: engaging partners to build the initial database; then using open-source data and further partner engagement to identify and fill gaps. The requirement also supports ongoing development of an interactive tool for presenting and using the database. This is a professional services assignment focused on research, data collection, stakeholder engagement, data quality improvement and digital information presentation. Delivery is associated with Greater Manchester and the wider United Kingdom. The procurement is relevant to consultancies and data specialists experienced in mapping public or built assets, managing structured datasets and working with public-sector partners.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded. Greater Manchester Combined Authority used a direct award route, described as below threshold and without competition, with one quotation for consultancy under the Procurement Act 2023 regulations and the authority’s constitution. DATA HARBOUR LTD was awarded the single lot. The award is active and dated 30 November 2025. The contract period runs from 1 December 2025 to 9 December 2026, and the contract is active. Its value is £29,870.50 excluding VAT, or £35,844.60 including VAT. The service is classified under CPV 73000000, research and development services and related consultancy services. The procurement was evaluated through the stated quotation route.

This procurement indicates a defined requirement for public-estate data capability at Greater Manchester Combined Authority: building and improving a public-building database, combining partner-supplied information with open-source data, identifying gaps and supporting an interactive presentation tool. A credible future competitor would need consultancy capability across stakeholder engagement, information gathering, data validation, structured database development and the practical use of open-source datasets. Experience translating complex asset information into an accessible digital tool would be directly relevant. Suppliers should also be able to manage a phased assignment, maintain data quality as new information is gathered and work constructively with public-sector partners. The awarded supplier is an SME, showing that this requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist rather than only a large consultancy.
