The Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) has confirmed it wants to go ahead with the proposal for a public services network for the region.
It has announced that it is looking for a supplier to build and support the GM One Network, following a discovery project by consultancy UBDS. This would provide a single network infrastructure for public sector organisations connecting about 1,200 sites around Greater Manchester.
GMCA’s initial partners in the project are Oldham, Rochdale and Stockport Councils, along with Transport for Greater Manchester, and other organisations in the city-region will be able to use the relevant services.

A cycle of honour led a funeral procession across Tameside for mum Louise Harrott who tragically died doing the thing she loved most.
Cyclist Louise, 43, died after being airlifted from the scene of a crash in Oldham last month.
Members of Saddleworth Clarion Cycling Club rode in their group colours to accompany the procession, with Louise’s coffin draped with a Clarion banner as relatives and friends said their final farewell to the much-loved mother-of-one, described as the fabric of the family.
