Framework Agreement for the Provision of Banking Services

The procurement contact named on the official notice.

Bury Council is leading a procurement process on behalf of AGMA, its associates and other named authorities to establish a procurement framework with a single provider to deliver Banking Services.

The participating authorities are Blackpool, Bolton, Bury, Manchester, Rochdale, Salford, Tameside, Trafford and Wigan Councils, GM Fire & Rescue, the Greater Manchester Combined Authority, Transport for Greater Manchester, Kirklees Council, and West Yorkshire Fire & Rescue.

Other AGMA authorities (Oldham and Stockport), joint bodies (GM Police and GM Waste Disposal Authority) and associates (Cheshire East and Warrington) are entitled to call-off from this framework if they so wish, however their requirements do not form part of the initial scope.

Each Organisation that wishes to use the framework will enter into their own contract with the successful bidder by way of a call-off order.

The framework agreement is for a four year period from September 2021.

The wholly owned companies and Arms-Length Management Organisations (ALMOs) of the above-mentioned organisations are also entitled to use this framework.

Tameside Council is the Administering Authority for the GM Pension Fund, whose requirements may also be called off under this framework.
