UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Greater Manchester Combined Authority procured a committee live webcasting system: services to webcast the authority’s committee meetings. The work is classified as provider services and delivery is recorded across England. The requirement concerns the provision of a webcasting system for committee meetings, rather than a wider broadcasting or general communications service.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to CIVCO LTD. The authority used a direct award without competition, below the applicable threshold, with one lot. The contract was signed on 17 September 2026 and runs from 17 September 2026 to 16 March 2027. Its gross value is £43,200. There is an option to extend for two further one-year periods, subject to agreement by both parties; the stated maximum extent is 16 March 2029. The procurement data does not state a separate evaluation basis.

The award demonstrates demand from Greater Manchester Combined Authority for a supplier able to provide a live webcasting system for committee meetings. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to show that its service can support committee proceedings and deliver reliable live webcasts for a public authority. The work was awarded directly without competition, so the recorded outcome does not establish what competitive scoring criteria or accreditation the authority would use in a future procurement. CIVCO LTD, an SME, was selected; this shows that the requirement was delivered by a small supplier, rather than necessarily requiring the scale of a large broadcaster. The service is a focused committee-webcasting requirement, so relevant technical delivery experience in this specific area would be more persuasive than general broadcasting capability alone.
