## Summary

Greater Manchester Combined Authority procured a subscription to North West Employers, a membership organisation supporting collaboration and progress among North West authorities. The service covers four areas: HR and workforce matters; leadership and talent; systems and culture change; and a collective North West voice. It is intended to provide shared learning, collaboration, advocacy and convenor expertise, while amplifying authorities’ needs and priorities on regional and national platforms. The buyer is Greater Manchester Combined Authority, based in Manchester. The awarded service is classified as miscellaneous membership organisation services and is delivered across the United Kingdom, for the benefit of the relevant North West public-authority network.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition. North West Employers (North Western Local Authorities Employers Organisation) was selected for the single lot. The contract was signed on 19 March 2026 and runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2029. Its value is £62,280 excluding VAT, or £74,736 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The process used a single award for the subscription service. The published outcome identifies the requirement as a services contract and confirms that the procurement was below the applicable threshold. No competitive evaluation basis is stated for this direct award.

This outcome indicates established demand from Greater Manchester Combined Authority for specialist membership and network services supporting local-government employers. A credible future provider would need demonstrable expertise across HR and workforce policy, leadership and talent development, organisational systems and culture change, and public-sector collaboration. It would also need the capacity to convene North West authorities, facilitate shared learning, represent collective priorities, and provide advocacy or policy influence at regional and national level. Relevant suppliers are likely to be membership bodies, employer organisations or comparable public-sector networks with strong relationships across local authorities and the ability to sustain structured support across several connected areas of workforce and organisational development.
