UK1 - Pipeline Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Greater Manchester Combined Authority intends to procure public analyst services and an emergency call-out service for Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service and Greater Manchester local authorities. The work will support the clients in responding to hazardous incidents and environmental protection incidents across the Greater Manchester area. This is a specialist emergency response and analytical service within the wider fire, rescue and environmental protection field. Delivery is in Greater Manchester. The procurement is structured as one planned service lot. Suppliers should therefore expect a requirement combining public analyst expertise with the ability to provide an emergency response service for incidents affecting fire and rescue operations and local authority responsibilities.

This procurement is at the planning stage: the buyer has announced an intention to procure, but this record does not invite tenders. The buyer plans one lot and expects the contract to run from 1 June 2027 to 31 May 2031, with the possibility of renewal or extension to 31 May 2033. The buyer’s expected date for the next notice is 30 October 2026. The service is planned as a public services procurement under the Procurement Act 2023. The stated procurement category is services, and the associated classification covers fire-brigade and rescue services. The published information identifies the scope and timetable for market preparation, rather than a bid deadline or settled contract value.

This planned requirement is likely to suit organisations that provide public analyst services alongside emergency call-out capability for hazardous and environmental protection incidents. Relevant suppliers may include specialist analytical service providers, emergency incident response organisations, and established teams able to work with fire and rescue services and local authorities. Businesses should assess whether they can support incidents across Greater Manchester, provide responsive out-of-hours or urgent mobilisation, and operate effectively with multiple public-sector clients. Experience in hazardous incident management, environmental protection response, public-sector emergency operations, or fire and rescue support is likely to be valuable. Potential suppliers should use the planning period to review their technical capability, response capacity, partnership arrangements and evidence of comparable work before the tender reaches the market.
