## Summary

The Greater Manchester Combined Authority commissioned consultancy support for its 10-year local Growth Plan. The work covers identifying and sequencing projects across land acquisition, housing, commercial development, transport and low-carbon initiatives; adding delivery-team capacity; preparing cash-flow forecasts for public grants and private investment, including revenue and capital costs; and reviewing programme governance and recommending delivery arrangements. It is professional consultancy combining economic and project planning, financial modelling, governance review and delivery advice. The work relates to programmes in North West England. The stated service categories include consulting and built-environment-related services, but the described assignment is strategic support for growth programmes rather than construction works.

The procurement is complete and awarded. The Greater Manchester Combined Authority selected Constellia Public Limited, with services subcontracted to Place Partners Ltd. The award was made on 30 June 2026 for £139,400. The contract runs from 1 July 2026 to 31 March 2027. The authority used a selective process through a call-off from a framework agreement; the award description identifies this as a direct appointment under the AEC Call-off Agreement for Services. The submission deadline was 15 June 2026. Small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises were considered suitable. The published data does not state a separate scoring or evaluation basis.

For suppliers considering similar future work for the Greater Manchester Combined Authority, this award demonstrates demand for integrated growth-programme consultancy: shaping project pipelines across property, housing, transport and low-carbon activity; sequencing delivery; strengthening programme capacity; modelling public and private funding flows; and advising on governance and delivery structures. A credible competitor would need to combine strategic planning with practical project-development experience, financial modelling across capital and revenue costs, and the ability to assess governance and recommend workable delivery vehicles. The assignment was placed through a framework call-off, so relevant framework appointment and call-off capability would also matter. The opportunity was considered suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating that smaller specialist providers could be relevant where they can deliver the required breadth, or contribute through a partnership or subcontracting role.
