## Summary

The Greater Manchester Combined Authority has completed the procurement process for supporting and maintaining backup generators for Greater Manchester Police. The contract, valued at £75,000 excluding VAT, commenced on 13 August 2025 and is scheduled to end on 31 March 2026. The procurement method employed was direct contracting through GMP’s exemption process in accordance with Contract Standing Orders, which allows for award without competition due to the below-threshold value. The awarded contract involves providing planned preventative maintenance and repair services for 22 generator sets and associated automatic transfer switches. This procurement falls under public authority categorisation for the sub-central government level in the UK, specifically within the region of Greater Manchester.

This tender offers growth potential for businesses specialising in repair and maintenance services, particularly those with experience in generator maintenance and similar technical services. Firms operating as SMEs could find opportunities to expand their portfolio through such partnerships with governmental bodies, leveraging their specialised skill sets and niche expertise. Given the direct procurement method employed in this contract, businesses with established relationships or demonstrable past experience working with public authorities might be well-positioned to compete for future similar opportunities as exemptions provide expedited access to contracts without the need for extensive competition.
