## Summary

The Greater Manchester Combined Authority is in the planning stage of a procurement process for an "Offender Device Risk Management Solution" aimed at supporting Greater Manchester Police's Sex Offender Management Unit. This initiative belongs to the IT services industry category and is located in the United Kingdom. The current stage involves a market engagement due by 1 May 2026, allowing interested parties to express interest and complete a questionnaire to assist in developing the final specification. The formal procurement process will be initiated subsequently, once the full specification is made available.
