Summary of the contracting process

Greater Manchester Combined Authority commissioned a service to facilitate GaMHive, a structured network of people in Greater Manchester with personal experience of gambling addiction or gambling-related harm. The purpose is to put their lived experience at the centre of shaping the region’s gambling-harm reduction programme. The work is a combination of gambling-related services and equal-opportunities consultancy. Delivery is in Greater Manchester.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Gambling with Lives. The authority used a direct award without competition, below the applicable threshold. The contract was signed on 17 June 2026 and runs from 10 August 2026 to 9 August 2027. Its value is £27,075 excluding VAT (£32,490 including VAT). There was one lot, covering the GaMHive facilitation service. The published procurement data does not state evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility requirements.

For organisations considering similar work for Greater Manchester Combined Authority, this award indicates demand for community-led gambling-harm reduction support that can organise and sustain a network of people with direct lived experience. A credible provider would need to engage sensitively with people affected by gambling-related harm, facilitate their ongoing involvement, and translate their perspectives into input that can shape a regional action plan. Experience in gambling harms and equal-opportunities or participation work would be relevant to this combination of service and consultancy. The selected provider is a large voluntary and community organisation, showing that this requirement can suit an established mission-led supplier with the capacity to convene and support a structured regional network.
