## Summary

Greater Manchester Police procured consultancy and architectural direction for implementing a replacement records management system (RMS) and data warehouse. The work covers software programming and consultancy services, including technical direction for the transition and delivery of the replacement systems. It is contracted for Greater Manchester Police by Greater Manchester Combined Authority and is associated with Greater Manchester, within the North West of England. The buying organisation is Greater Manchester Police. This is a services requirement rather than a construction or goods supply opportunity, suited to firms providing technology consultancy, enterprise architecture, systems implementation advice and data platform expertise for policing or other complex public-sector environments.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Reed Specialist Recruitment Limited on 27 August 2026. The contract value is £412,000 including the stated currency, with a contract period from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2028. The response deadline was 3 August 2026 at 06:00. The route was a selective call-off from the YPO framework 001141, rather than an open competition. Greater Manchester Police identified the requirement as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award covers the full described service requirement and is recorded as active. The published procurement category is services, with the technical classification covering software programming and consultancy services.

This procurement indicates a substantial public-sector requirement for specialist advice during the replacement of a records management system and data warehouse. A credible competing supplier would need consultancy capability spanning enterprise or solution architecture, software implementation and data-warehouse replacement, with the ability to provide clear technical direction through a complex change programme. Understanding policing operations, information governance, legacy-system migration and integration would strengthen a supplier’s position, although these areas are not stated as formal eligibility requirements. The opportunity was accessible through a framework call-off and was marked as suitable for SMEs, so smaller technology consultancies with sufficient delivery capacity and relevant public-sector systems experience could compete through an established framework route when comparable work is next considered.
