UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Greater Manchester Combined Authority is procuring health and social work services to reduce health inequalities among people experiencing multiple disadvantage, including homelessness, substance misuse, mental health issues, domestic abuse and contact with the criminal justice system. Lot 1 is primary-care-led support embedded in GP and other primary care settings, working with partner agencies in Rochdale, Oldham and Manchester to improve public health outcomes. Lot 2 is palliative care support for adults experiencing homelessness who have life-limiting or end-of-life physical health conditions. Both services are delivered across Greater Manchester. The requirement sits within the authority’s Live Well commitment and builds on its existing Inclusion Health Service.

The procurement has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an open, competitive flexible procedure under the PSR24 light-touch regime, using two stages for each lot. Enquiries had to be submitted by 2 September 2026 at 23:59, and offers by 9 September 2026 at 12:00. The anticipated award decision date is 15 December 2026 at 23:59. Lot 1 is valued at £2,762,767.81 excluding VAT (£3,315,321.37 including VAT) for 15 January 2027 to 14 January 2030, with two possible 12-month renewals to 14 January 2032. Lot 2 is valued at £461,615 excluding VAT (£553,938 including VAT) for 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2029, with two possible 12-month renewals to 31 March 2031. Stage 1 weights quality at 60% and price at 10%; the three highest-scoring bidders proceed to Stage 2, where presentation and interview quality carry 20% and social value 10%.

This opportunity suits health and social care providers able to design and deliver inclusive services for people facing severe health and social inequalities. Lot 1 is relevant to organisations with experience providing primary-care-based support, coordinating with GP practices and other agencies, and addressing complex needs associated with multiple disadvantage across Rochdale, Oldham and Manchester. Lot 2 suits providers with specialist palliative and end-of-life care capability, particularly for adults experiencing homelessness. The authority states that both lots are suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. Bidders must be able to demonstrate service quality, present their proposed approach and answer interview questions at the second stage, while also addressing the procurement’s social-value requirements.
