The procurement method used was an open procedure, and the resulting framework agreement allows for direct awards to a single supplier, ECC Electronic Engineering. The contract, which has a maximum value of £2,500,000, started on February 5, 2020, and will continue until February 4, 2023. This framework is available not only to Greater Manchester Police but also to several police forces across the North West Region and the UK, with the procurement period having ended on June 24, 2019. This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in maintenance and cleaning services for police firearms ranges, particularly those that are small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Companies with experience in deleading, cleaning, and compliance with specific health and safety regulations, such as the Control of Lead at Work (CLAW) Regulations and the Hazardous Waste Regulations, would be well-suited to compete for this contract. Engaging with this framework could offer significant growth potential given the ongoing requirements for maintaining safety in police operations across multiple regions. ## Notice Greater Manchester Combined Authority, as the contracting authority for Greater Manchester Police (GMP), sought to create a framework agreement for delivery of a service to maintain police firearms ranges, including the deleading, annual deep cleans and repair or replacement of materials.
