It sets out a possible recruitment plan that would bring in new hires from across Greater Manchester and the wider North of England.
In total, the report suggests around 300 staff should be employed within 18 months.
It proposes transferring teams from Whitehall departments, including the Treasury, Cabinet Office, and the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government – all of which are now being led by ministers who represent constituencies in the North of England.
Successive governments have sought to move more civil servants out of London and last year a target was set to cut the number of roles in the capital by 12,000.
According to the most recent figures, 19.6% of civil servants are based in London and the number has been gradually decreasing for the past four years.
The percentage of senior civil servants based outside of London stands at 13.5% compared to 34.7% in London.
Whitehall officials willing to move to Manchester have been told they will be offered relocation packages, the BBC understands.
It’s also likely there will be a significant movement of staff from Burnham’s former mayoral team at the Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA).
The BBC has been told that at least three senior figures are understood to have agreed to work at No 10 North. Some GMCA staff expressed surprise at only finding out their colleagues would be moving after seeing them on TV greeting the new prime minister in Downing Street.
No 10 North will lead on a key plank of Burnham’s agenda; handing power from Whitehall and Westminster to regions across the country.
It means strategic decisions about devolution and local economic growth will shift out of the Treasury, now led by Chancellor John Healey, and Angela Rayner’s Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government – though both departments will have some “remaining functions” in these areas.
