Construction firms have been invited to an open day to find out how to bid for a slice of a £150 million housing project.

The event, organised by GM Procure - a consortium of social housing providers responsible for the repair and upkeep of 195,000 homes across Greater Manchester and the North-west - will be held at the City of Manchester Stadium on Monday, January 8.

GM Procure is making an investment of up to £150 million over the next four years on its properties, which could mean a large share of business for local companies.

Anyone interested in attending the event or in applying to tender should contact Colette Howieson on 07834 987129 or at Colette.howieson@valueworks.co.uk.
