Notice Information

Notice Title

TfGM Bridge Asset Management System 2025

Notice Description

Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM), working on behalf of the 10 Local Authorities within Greater Manchester, is looking to source a new contract for a Bridge Asset Management System (BAM) that will be used by all parties. As noted above, the proposed system will hold the data for all 10 Authorities but each Authority will only be able to access their own data for read/write/modify/delete purposes. "Super users" accounts should be available where access is required to all data if the need arises to deal with GM wide issues. The required system is a specialist bridge management system, so as supplied it must be capable of accommodating 10,000+ structures. Furthermore, the supplier should indicate any cost implications (if any) in accommodating 30,000 structures in increments of 5,000 structures e.g. 15k, 20k, 25k & 30k structures. The inventory should hold the basic data and information on the stock of highway structures in terms of descriptive parameters such as structural type, form, construction material and geometry (dimensions, span, width, skew etc). Attributes held in the inventory should enable management to operate at a number of levels, e.g. stock, groups or individual structures. This will be a 4+1 term contract with the final (5th year) being optional. The current contract expires July 2025. If you have already expressed an interest on the previous advert on Pro-Contract, you will also need to express an interest on this advert as well, in order to access the tender documentation.
