The GMCA's procurement process for this consultancy highlights the importance of aligning infrastructure investments with economic development goals to drive growth and create sustainable communities across the Greater Manchester region. ## Notice Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA), working with Wigan and Bolton Councils, is seeking a consultant to provide a strategic and economic study of GM's Wigan and Bolton Growth Corridor. Greater Manchester has a strategic and spatial approach to priority infrastructure delivery and investement, in order to maximise economic growth across the conurbation. Through this approach, GM seeks to prioritise and sequence the investment needed to bring forward strategic growth propositions in a coherent way which supports GM's engagement with Government over future funding agreements and also connecting project delivery with broader placemaking and economic growth. The Wigan and Bolton Growth Corridor is one of six growth locations identified within the city region which represent opportunities for the whole region to bring forward development at scale that can drive the transformational change we want to see in GM. The development of the Wigan & Bolton Growth Corridor will provide radial transport infrastructure across Wigan and Bolton, which will enable wider regeneration and economic growth ambitions to be realised. The development of a quality bus corridor, motorway link road and enhanced rail, will connect residents to employment and skills opportunities within the Boroughs and across Greater Manchester. In line with residents needs and aspirations, c.12,000 new quality homes will be created. These will include family homes and will be delivered across the distinctive communities with access to green space. Building on the corridor's existing strengths and strategic transport links, employment growth will be driven by logistics, manufacturing (notably food) and distribution. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/38e2b109-16f4-44c7-819e-3593a9e65497 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Direct | | Procurement method details | Direct award | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 17 May 2024 | | Submission deadline | 1 Aug 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 14 Aug 2023 | | Contract period | 17 Nov 2023 - 15 Mar 2024 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £176,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £176,000 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | GREATER MANCHESTER COMBINED AUTHORITY | | Locality | MANCHESTER | | Post town | Manchester | | Postcode | M1 6EU | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD3 Greater Manchester | | ITL 3 | TLD33 Manchester | | Local authority | Manchester | | Electoral ward | Deansgate | | Westminster constituency | Manchester Central | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | DELOITTE | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 79411100 - Business development consultancy services ## Release History - 17 May 2024 at 13:12 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/38e2b109-16f4-44c7-819e-3593a9e65497 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/38e2b109-16f4-44c7-819e-3593a9e65497 17th May 2024 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.manchesterfire.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
