Summary of the contracting process

Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM) has entered the award stage in its procurement process with the completion of a contract modification with GTT EMEA Limited. The procurement relates to telecommunications services to maintain connectivity to traffic signals following delays in migrating to the GM One network. The original contract, awarded under the Crown Commercial Services framework, had initially been planned to end in 2023 and has now been extended for an additional 12 months from April 2025 to April 2026. This is a direct procurement process below the threshold, executed without competition, primarily focusing on the Greater Manchester region in the field of telecommunications services.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses in the telecommunications industry, especially those capable of providing reliable ADSL services for non-CCTV equipment. Large-scale providers with experience in government contracts and those who can swiftly adapt to changes in infrastructure requirements are particularly well-suited to engage with such contracts. The ongoing need for enhanced connectivity solutions in regions like Greater Manchester suggests further procurement opportunities could arise for businesses seeking to expand in this sector.

Notice Title

TfGM and GTT EMEA - Contract Modification to April 2026

Notice Description

Following a competitive tender process under the Crown Commercial Services (CCS) framework RM1045 Network Services, Lot 1; Data Access Service; the original contract was awarded to Easynet Managed Services Ltd (which were acquired by GTT in 2018) for a period of five years with the option to extend for up to 24 months. In 2023 the available 24 month period was taken up and this is now due to end this year. TfGM use ADSL for non-CCTV equipment that requires low upload Following the rollout and deployment of GM One across the Greater Manchester region, it was intended for these services to be migrated over to the GM One network, however the delivery of the replacement circuits has been delayed. In order to maintain connectivity to the traffic signals, a further 12 month extension for the remaining services (131) is required. The decision was taken to modify the current contract by extending it for an additional 12 month period due to the fact that the circumstances around GM One not being ready could not have been foreseen by TfGM or any diligent entity or authority.
