## Summary

The Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) has completed its award stage for the procurement titled "GMCA 1225 Good Landlord Charter Evaluation." This procurement seeks consultancy services specialising in research and development to evaluate the Greater Manchester Good Landlord Charter, which is a pioneering scheme open to all landlords. The procurement process, categorised under "Research and development consultancy services," followed an open procedure. The tender initially opened for submissions with an end date set for 20th March 2025, and the contract spans from 8th April 2025 to 7th April 2028. Located in the United Kingdom, the project attracted an award value of £76,558, despite a tendered value of £80,000. The award was made active on 17th April 2025, and the buyer, GMCA, operates from Manchester, managing contracts through their office on Oxford Street.

This contract presents significant opportunities for firms engaged in evaluation and research services, especially those with expertise in public sector schemes and social responsibility initiatives. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), as well as voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs), are particularly encouraged to engage with contracts like these due to the inclusivity and specific suitability criteria. As the Greater Manchester Good Landlord Charter aims to elevate property standards, participation in such evaluations offers strategic growth by enhancing portfolios and expertise in the public policy evaluation space, critical for consultancies looking to expand their footprint across similar governmental initiatives. This tender underscores the increasing demand for evaluative consultancy services tailored to legislative and voluntary frameworks.

## Notice

GMCA is seeking a supplier to evaluate the implementation and delivery of the Greater Manchester Good Landlord Charter (GLC) over a three-year period. The Good Landlord Charter is a voluntary scheme for landlords who want to commit to higher standards than they are currently required to by law. All landlords (both social and private) across the ten Greater Manchester local authorities are able to apply to be part of the Good Landlord Charter. It will be the first such scheme in the country open to all landlords, no matter whether they are private or social landlords, big or small and is managed by an Independent Implementation Unit. The GLC has seven characteristics and 21 associated criteria relating to what is a good landlord. The Implementation Unit started operating at the end of 2024 and is in the process of setting up. The purpose of the evaluation will be to evaluate the following: 1) How the implementation and delivery of the GLC have met its objectives. 2) How the implementation and delivery of the GLC has delivered against each of the GLC criteria and characteristics. 3) The experiences of landlords, tenants and stakeholders in relation to the GLC. 4) Barriers faced and lessons learnt in the implementation and delivery of the GLC. It is expected that the evaluation of the GLC will use mixed methods, the evaluator will be required to work closely with the Implementation Unit and the GMCA to agree on data collection and processing.
