GMCA 1103 - Legal Services to support delivery of GMCA's Brownfield Programme

Greater Manchester Combined Authority is seeking to procure legal services related to the allocation of projects under the GM Brownfield Programme via a further competition under the CCS framework RM6240 - Public Sector Legal Services (lot 2a) Property and Construction specialism. As a relevant framework supplier, you are invited to participate in this further competition.

The GM Brownfield Programme derives from GM's trailblazer devolution deal. As part of this deal, the Department for Levelling up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC) have allocated £150 million of Brownfield Infrastructure and Land funding to GM to unlock at least 7,000 new homes. The aim of this funding is to tackle the market's failure to build housing and mixed-use developments on challenging brownfield sites that demonstrate existing negative externalities, difficult land assembly, imperfect information and other market barriers which prevent the private sector taking them on alone. This supports the Government's ambition to prioritise development on brownfield land, particularly for the regeneration of our cities and towns, alongside increasing housing supply and wider growth as part of the Levelling Up Missions and the Government's ambition of delivering 300,000 homes per year to help create a more sustainable and affordable housing market.
