Summary of the contracting process

Transport For Greater Manchester (TfGM) has completed a procurement process for a new contract titled "GMRAPS Management Software". This contract pertains to the software package and information systems industry category, and covers the Greater Manchester region in North West England. Initially launched through a selective procurement method using the Crown Commercial Service RM1557.13 Framework Agreement, the tender concluded on 3 July 2024. The contract, worth £765,375, has been awarded to Symology Limited and is set to run from 21 September 2024 to 20 September 2027, with an optional extension of one additional year. The main objective is to manage the Greater Manchester Road Activity Permit Scheme, facilitating the processing and approval of permit applications and revenue management to mitigate road congestion.

This tender presents considerable opportunities for businesses specialising in software and information systems, particularly SMEs and VCSEs, given its substantial contract value and extended support duration. It allows businesses to engage in a critical civic infrastructure project, potentially enhancing their market presence and experience in public sector collaborations. Companies experienced in developing sophisticated management systems that can handle complex permit schemes and effectively reduce road congestion through innovative solutions would be particularly well-suited to compete for similar future opportunities.

Notice Information

Notice Title

GMRAPS Management Software

Notice Description

TfGM had a requirement for a supplier to provide a software management system for the Greater Manchester Road Activity Permit Scheme. The GMRAPS service is a joint permit scheme in respect of the adopted roads in the ten Greater Manchester (GM) districts. This includes processing of permit applications, approval of permit applications, processing of revenue generated from permits, and an overarching view to reduce the risk of congestion on roads through multiple works in one location, taking up valuable diversion routes. The existing contract for the GMRAPS service was due to expire in Sept 2024. TfGM were required to source a new contract to continue the provision of the GMRAPS service. TfGM used the Crown Commercial Service (CCS) RM1557.13 Framework Agreement as a compliant route to find a suitable supplier following a call-off competition. The contract is a 3+1 contract term.
