It is a single-lot services contract for the authority, with the work focused on project and product management practice. The named buyer is Greater Manchester Combined Authority.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Agile Collective Ltd. The authority used limited competition below the applicable threshold. The award covers one lot; no evaluation criteria are stated in the available process details. The contract was signed on 16 August 2026 and runs from 17 August to 30 November 2026. Its stated value is £60,000 excluding VAT (£72,000 including VAT). The award is active, and the contract is active.

This award demonstrates demand from Greater Manchester Combined Authority for short-term project and product management consultancy, sourced through limited competition.

Agile Collective Ltd, the selected supplier, is a small and medium-sized enterprise, showing that this requirement was delivered by an SME. The contract is a focused, time-limited consultancy engagement rather than a broad goods or works purchase; relevant competitors should be able to mobilise for a concentrated assignment and provide experienced consultancy support in the UK.
