UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Greater Manchester Combined Authority procured consultancy services to support a technical and cost review of surveys and reports for the College Bank feasibility study in Rochdale. The requirement concerns seven residential blocks and covers architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services, together with research and development consultancy. The work is intended to help review the technical evidence and cost information underpinning the feasibility study. This is relevant to firms that advise on residential building condition, development feasibility, construction costs, engineering or related technical reviews. The buying organisation is Greater Manchester Combined Authority, with the requirement focused on the College Bank residential development in Rochdale, Greater Manchester.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Rochdale Boroughwide Housing Limited. It used a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition, under an exemption in line with the applicable regulations and constitution. The contract was signed on 26 July 2026 and runs from 27 July to 18 September 2026. Its value is £49,999 excluding VAT and £59,998.80 including VAT. The contract allows an optional extension of two one-month periods, with a maximum end date of 17 November 2026. There was one completed lot. The award covered consultancy services for the technical and costings review of the College Bank feasibility study.

This award demonstrates demand from Greater Manchester Combined Authority for specialist consultancy supporting the technical and cost review of a residential feasibility study. Suppliers best placed for comparable future work would combine expertise in surveying and interpreting technical reports with robust construction cost planning. Relevant capability may include architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services, alongside research and development consultancy. Credibility would come from being able to assess evidence relating to multiple residential blocks, identify technical implications and produce reliable cost information for feasibility decisions. Firms with integrated technical and cost consultancy teams may be particularly well suited, as the requirement links the review of existing surveys and reports with costings rather than treating these as separate activities.
