## Summary

The procurement process by the Greater Manchester Combined Authority focuses on delivering "Pay and reward benchmarking" services for the Greater Manchester Police. This process, under the industry category of services including payroll management and market-testing, is conducted through a direct procurement method below threshold, without competition. The contract has been awarded to KORN FERRY (UK) LIMITED. The process has reached the Award stage as of 13th May 2026. The contract, signed on 9th April 2026, runs until 30th April 2027, with services intended for the UKD region in the United Kingdom. The overall value of the contract is £32,400, with a net amount of £27,000.

This tender provides opportunities for businesses specialising in HR consultancy, payroll services, and market-testing to understand the standards required by a significant public authority like the Greater Manchester Combined Authority. Although the contract has been directly awarded to a large company, smaller firms in the HR and consultancy space can identify key service needs and align themselves for future opportunities in public sector tendering by understanding the trends and requirements evident in such tenders. Enterprises with capabilities in benchmarking and reward analysis would particularly benefit by gearing up for similar opportunities, enhancing their profile and service offerings accordingly.

## Notice
