Summary, notice description and lot information

Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for "GMCA 693 Project Skyline: Greater Manchester Shared Children’s Residential Care Services" was led by the Greater Manchester Combined Authority. This initiative seeks care providers to manage children’s homes across the Greater Manchester area, focusing on welfare services for children and young people. The procurement stage remains at the award phase, with contracts signed on 25th March 2025.

This procurement falls under the services category, operated through a selective method with a competitive dialogue, ensuring the most suitable care providers are selected. The project includes several lots, each catering to different care needs, such as mental health support, residential homes for younger children transitioning back to foster care, and homes supporting older teenagers and those at risk of exploitation. This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses in the health and social care sectors, particularly those experienced in child welfare and residential care services.

Successful businesses will enter into long-term contracts that provide stable revenue streams. The contracts are designed with a 10-year duration with potential breaks after seven years, which highlights the need for reliable providers who can safely and efficiently manage the transition and integration efforts. Businesses that can offer comprehensive solutions, demonstrating high-quality care standards, safeguarding procedures, and partnership capabilities within Greater Manchester, would be well-positioned to compete successfully for these contracts.
