    Brief

    Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service (GMFRS) and Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) are seeking a digital transformation partner to deliver a comprehensive Digital Transformation Programme spanning up to 10 years. The partner will lead the digital solution project/element for approximately 3.5 years, with ongoing support and maintenance expected beyond that. Current State Challenges: GMFRS operates 50+ fragmented systems and 30+ processes with significant manual interventions across Service Delivery and Prevention & Protection directorates. Key issues include: duplicate and inconsistent premises, people and risk data; heavy reliance on manual data entry and re-keying; limited mobile capability impacting field-based operations; constraints in reporting, auditability and data quality. Program Objectives: The Digital Transformation Programme aims to consolidate systems, streamline processes, improve data consistency and quality, enable mobile-first field operations, enhance reporting capabilities, and strengthen audit compliance across the organisation. This is a significant opportunity for an experienced digital transformation partner to drive organisational modernisation in a mission-critical public safety organisation.
