The Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) sought to appoint a single legal adviser to provide multi-disciplinary and ongoing legal support to the Waste and Resources Service. This adviser must be able to demonstrate significant experience in the support of PPP/PFI-type contracts for similar services in the public sector. The initial contract period will be for 19 months between 1st June 2026 and 31st December 2027. The maximum budget available for the initial period is £395,000 (excluding VAT). The GMCA reserves the right to extend this contract for an additional 2 years until 31st December 2029. The value of the extension period is up to £250,000 per annum (excluding VAT). Therefore, the estimated total value of the contract, including all optional extension periods, is up to a maximum of £895,000 (excluding VAT). This procurement was conducted in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023 using the Open Procedure.
