## Summary

Greater Manchester Combined Authority commissioned a fully managed software-as-a-service solution for governance, compliance and risk management. The service is contracted for Greater Manchester Police, so relevant suppliers are those providing governance, risk and compliance software with associated implementation, support and service management. The requirement falls within IT services, including software development, consulting, internet services and support. Delivery is for Greater Manchester, within the North West of England. The procurement was structured as a single requirement rather than separate service lots. The contracting authority is Greater Manchester Combined Authority, while Greater Manchester Police is the public-sector organisation for which the solution is being provided. This is a technology services opportunity centred on an ongoing managed software platform rather than standalone software licensing.

The procurement has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. The tender is complete and the contract is active. RISK SMART LIMITED was selected for the single lot. The contract was signed on 26 March 2026 and runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2031. Its value is £141,000 excluding VAT and £169,200 including VAT. The requirement was treated as a services procurement and the award covers IT services relating to the managed governance, compliance and risk software solution. The award was made under a limited procedure, so the route involved a restricted field of competition rather than an open tender. The published outcome identifies one awarded supplier and one active contract.

This award demonstrates demand from Greater Manchester public-sector organisations for a fully managed governance, compliance and risk software service, supported over a multi-year contract. A credible competitor for similar work would need a mature SaaS platform covering governance, compliance and risk functions, together with the operational capability to manage delivery, maintenance, user support and ongoing service performance. Experience across IT consulting, software development, internet-based services and support would be relevant to the requirement. The selected supplier is an SME, indicating that delivery at this scale is not limited to very large technology companies. Suppliers with a focused GCR product and a dependable managed-service model would be well placed to assess comparable opportunities from this buyer.
