Summary of the contracting process

Transport For Greater Manchester (TfGM) recently completed a procurement process for the enhancement of their Urban Traffic Management Control (UTMC) system, known as the Stratos system. The contracting authority, TfGM, entered into a variation of an existing contract with Yunex Limited on 21st October 2025 to provide additional enhancements to improve operator experience and data quality. This project falls under the services category, specifically database systems, and has a contract period from 22nd October 2025 to 2nd May 2028, with a total contract value of £175,911.39. The enhancements are aimed at expanding current functionality and integrating new data sources for the traffic management system, located at postal code M1 3BG in Manchester, England.

This tender presents valuable opportunities for large-scale businesses in the traffic management and data analytics sectors. Companies capable of providing advanced technological solutions to improve traffic control and data management could greatly benefit from the enhanced UTMC system. Although the procurement method was a variation to a current contract rather than an open tender, businesses with similar capabilities and industry experience should consider future tenders with TfGM and similar organisations. This project indicates a growing trend towards integrating data-driven solutions in urban transport management, offering potential growth for businesses focusing on innovative traffic and transport technologies.
