## Summary

Greater Manchester Police procured HR and legal advice services for its HR professionals, focused on complex cases requiring specialist advice and support. The requirement is a service rather than the supply of goods or construction works. Delivery is for Greater Manchester Police in the North West of England, with the buying organisation based in Manchester. The selected provider is LNRS Data Services, trading as Brightmine. The work is relevant to businesses providing specialist employment, human resources and legal advisory services to public-sector organisations, particularly those able to support HR teams dealing with complex employment matters. It may also suit providers combining authoritative employment information, case guidance and access to experienced advisers, although the procurement was not identified as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through an Other – GCloud call-off route. The tender deadline was 1 July 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded to LNRS Data Services, trading as Brightmine, on 28 July 2026, for GBP 59,343. The awarded contract period runs from 28 July 2026 to 28 July 2030. The tender had an estimated value of GBP 59,343. The award is active, and the tender is recorded as complete. The outcome shows a single supplier selected for the HR and legal advice requirement. Evaluation details are not provided beyond the use of the GCloud call-off procurement route, so businesses assessing future comparable work should examine the applicable framework terms and call-off requirements.

This procurement demonstrates a defined requirement within Greater Manchester Police for specialist support on complex HR and legal cases. A credible competitor for comparable work would need demonstrable expertise in employment and HR advice, the ability to advise HR professionals rather than only individual employees, and sufficient depth to handle sensitive or technically complex cases. Providers should be able to deliver dependable advice to a police organisation and operate through the GCloud call-off route, including meeting its supplier, service and assurance requirements. The selected supplier’s role also indicates that a service combining specialist advice with reliable employment information and practical case support can meet this buyer’s needs. Relevant experience with public-sector HR environments would strengthen a future proposition.
