GM Regeneration Legal Services Framework

Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA), acting as a central purchasing body on behalf of GMCA Group organisations and participating Greater Manchester public sector authorities, intends to establish a multi-supplier legal services framework for the provision of specialist legal advice and support in relation to regeneration, infrastructure, place-making, housing, transport, economic development and associated major projects.
The framework is expected to provide access to a range of legal disciplines including, but not limited to, commercial, property, planning, construction, development, procurement, subsidy control, governance, compulsory purchase, highways and related dispute resolution matters. The framework is intended to support both high-value strategic regeneration programmes and associated legal workstreams across participating authorities.
The framework is expected to be procured as a Light Touch services framework under the Procurement Act 2023. GMCA anticipates appointing multiple legal service providers and expects the framework to promote collaboration, knowledge sharing, innovation, social value and support for in-house legal teams across Greater Manchester.
