    Brief

    Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) is seeking suppliers to deliver a school-based refill and reuse programme that reduces single-use plastic waste. The programme will enable pupils, staff, and community members to refill products instead of purchasing single-use plastic packaging. Successful suppliers will help Greater Manchester schools establish and operate refill services while developing pupil enterprise, leadership, and workplace skills. Suppliers must provide comprehensive support including training, resources, ongoing guidance, monitoring, and evaluation. This market engagement exercise aims to gauge supplier interest, assess relevant delivery experience, and determine capacity to implement a programme of this scale across schools in the region.
