This initiative is part of the regional decarbonisation effort, focusing on the development of solar energy across the Greater Manchester Waste Estate and potential co-investment opportunities for surplus power. The procurement method is an open procedure, and the contract is primarily service-oriented. Interested suppliers must note the submission deadline is set for 10th June 2026 at 12:00 PM. The initiative will span across various regions within the United Kingdom including UKC, UKD, UKE, UKF, UKG, UKH, UKI, UKJ, and UKK which indicates an extensive geographical target area for the project. The contract period is scheduled from 27th July 2026 to 30th April 2029, with potential for renewal, and has a gross value of £984,000. This tender presents an exciting growth opportunity for businesses specializing in engineering services, particularly those with expertise in renewable energy and solar power project management. The project is poised to benefit small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that can offer technical support and sustainable energy solutions tailored to the public sector's needs. Such businesses could leverage their expertise in decarbonisation and energy efficiency to stand out in their tenders. By engaging in this contract, businesses can not only amplify their portfolio with large-scale public projects but also contribute significantly to environmental sustainability goals through innovative solutions in solar power generation and management. ## Notice GMCA has been working with partners to identify appropriate sites for energy generation as part of our regional decarbonisation activities. In 2023, GMCA commissioned a feasibility study to assess opportunities across the GM Waste Estate and identified 10 suitable sites for rooftop and ground-mounted solar. This presents an opportunity for GM Waste to invest and reduce their onsite power demand. However, there is significantly more solar capacity potential than these sites require creating an opportunity for export into the wider public sector estate and GMCA is interested in co-investing or procuring this power for their own use. GMCA are seeking support from potential suppliers to progress this work through to delivery by providing Engineering Project Manager Support. The project is split into 2 contingent parts as the number of sites taken forward in Part 2 for investment will depend upon the outputs from Part 1. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Renewal: Extension is permissible via mutual agreement and subject to contract terms. ### Planning Information https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=e79c27b6-b610-f111-813c-005056b64545&p=e0cc5631-4690-e511-80fb-000c29c9ba21 Please see opportunity as advertised on the CHEST via link above. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/051023-2026 | | Notice type | UK4 - Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning, Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 29 May 2026 | | Submission deadline | 10 Jun 2026 | | Future notice date | 6 Mar 2026 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 26 Jul 2026 - 30 Apr 2029 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £820,000 | | Lots value | £820,000 | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Active | | Awards status | Not specified | | 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 | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLE Yorkshire and The Humber, TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLI London, TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 71300000 - Engineering services ## Release History - 29 May 2026 at 15:47 - TenderUpdate - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/051023-2026 - 20 May 2026 at 13:36 - TenderUpdate - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/046448-2026 - 5 May 2026 at 14:27 - TenderUpdate - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/041155-2026 - 8 Apr 2026 at 15:47 - Tender - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/032114-2026 - 23 Feb 2026 at 13:03 - Planning - UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/016058-2026 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/051023-2026 29th May 2026 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/046448-2026 20th May 2026 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/041155-2026 5th May 2026 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/032114-2026 8th April 2026 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/016058-2026 23rd February 2026 - Preliminary market engagement notice on Find a Tender ## Notice URLs - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=e79c27b6-b610-f111-813c-005056b64545&p=e0cc5631-4690-e511-80fb-000c29c9ba21 - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=e79c27b6-b610-f111-813c-005056b64545&p=e0cc5631-4690-e511-80fb-000c29c9ba21PleaseseeopportunityasadvertisedontheCHESTvialinkabove. - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents - https://www.the-chest.org.uk/ - https://www.the-chest.org.uk/SearchprojectreferenceGMCA1699EngineeringProjectManagerSupportforSolarDesignandBuildContractManagement ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
