## Summary

Greater Manchester Combined Authority procured project management consultancy support for the Greater Manchester Zone Coordination Body’s co-design process. The requirement is a professional services engagement covering project management support rather than physical goods or construction works. Delivery is in the Greater Manchester area, identified in the procurement as the North West. The buying organisation is Greater Manchester Combined Authority, a regional public authority based in Manchester. The work relates specifically to coordinating and supporting the Zone Coordination Body’s co-design activity, so relevant suppliers are those providing structured project management, programme coordination and consultancy support for public-sector transformation or policy-development initiatives. The procurement was categorised as project management consultancy services.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. Greater Manchester Combined Authority used a limited procedure: a below-threshold direct award call-off from the Government Commercial Agency framework, RM6309 Lot 9, without a prior competition. The requirement was evaluated on price. The contract was awarded to AECOM LIMITED on 11 June 2026, and the award is recorded as active. The awarded contract value is £101,650. One bid was recorded. The procurement lot is marked cancelled, although the associated award and contract are active. The contracting process is therefore recorded as an awarded, signed contract rather than an opportunity for new bids. A contract end date or duration is not included in the published outcome.

This award shows demand from Greater Manchester Combined Authority for specialist project management support connected with regional coordination and co-design. A credible competitor for comparable work would need to demonstrate project and programme management capability, experience supporting public-sector bodies, and the ability to coordinate stakeholders through a structured co-design process. The requirement was obtained through a Government Commercial Agency framework call-off, so suppliers seeking similar public-sector work would need access to the relevant framework route or an equivalent route used by the authority. The selected supplier is a large professional services business, indicating that established consultancy capacity and the resources to support a regional public-sector programme are commercially relevant. Price was the stated evaluation basis.
