## Summary

The Greater Manchester Combined Authority has completed the procurement process for the "GMCA 970 Knowledge Transfer Partnership - Data Sharing Framework" project. This tender, valued at £110,448, falls under the industry category of research and development consultancy services (CPV 73200000). The procurement method used was a restricted procedure, indicating a selective approach. The project, located in England, particularly Greater Manchester, focuses on designing and implementing a business change tool for information sharing across the city region. The contracting process is in the award stage, with key dates being the tender period ending on 26th July 2024 and the contract commencing on 18th November 2024, running until 17th May 2027. The University of Salford has been awarded the contract as the supplier.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in consultancy services, particularly those experienced in research and development, business change, and information management. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in these areas are well-suited to compete in similar future opportunities, benefiting from the increased demand for innovative tools to manage data sharing frameworks. Engaging in such tenders can foster growth through collaboration with public authorities like the Greater Manchester Combined Authority, providing valuable insights and contributing to impactful regional projects.

## Notice

The GM Information Strategy has identified a need for academic input to help design a business change tool that helps to embed the organisation's information sharing framework across Greater Manchester partners. The KTP will research and design how to most effectively create and sustain change of practice to support the embedding of an agreed framework across a city region. Informed by this research, the output will be tools for change that GMCA and other organisations can use to specifically implement the data sharing framework in their local practice and on a regional level. This support is needed due to: o Lack of extensive knowledge and understanding about sustaining business change across a city region and its information sharing practice. o Lack of capability to develop a sound model of implementation for the framework that can work for a range of organisations. o The need for insight into why past projects have not been able to secure lasting impact despite a clear appetite for a framework.
