## Summary

The procurement process for the "GMCA 1147.1 Call off Biowaste Framework" is led by the Greater Manchester Combined Authority, which is located in Manchester, United Kingdom. This contracting opportunity falls under the industry category of composting services, and it primarily concerns the services sector. The current procurement stage is the award phase, with key updates having occurred as of 30th December 2025. Central to this process, the framework facilitates the treatment of biowaste with contracts planned to commence from April 2026, following a strategy approved by the GMCA in March 2024. The procurement method employed is a selective procedure under a restricted process, aimed at appointing multiple suppliers to manage approximately 100,000 tonnes of biowaste annually through various smaller contracts.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses involved in providing biowaste treatment solutions, specifically those with capabilities in operating in-vessel composting plants. The framework supports a multi-supplier approach, which is beneficial for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) such as Biowise Limited and Ryedale Organics Ltd, who have been active participants and beneficiaries in this process. For businesses, being part of this framework allows access to scalable work packages through call-offs, fostering business growth for companies able to meet the GMCA's stringent compliance and quality requirements. Participating organisations have the potential to benefit from sustained contract work over the framework's duration, with contract values having been corrected to reflect an estimated total of approximately £10.95 million, highlighting the significant financial opportunity involved.
