UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Transport for Greater Manchester has completed the procurement process for a project titled "Product Manager Requirement", focusing on recruitment services within the Ticketing Digital Pass initiative. This contract, identified by OCID ocds-h6vhtk-058468, was awarded under a limited competition procurement method due to being below the threshold. The contract award stage was finalised on 8th August 2025, with the contract period running from 1st July 2025 to 31st December 2025, and a possible extension to 30th April 2026. The contract is aimed at improving stakeholder engagement in product decision-making processes and involves activities such as customer strategic business case development. It is centred in Manchester, within the North West of England.

This tender presents business growth opportunities particularly for entities involved in providing recruitment services, especially those adept in managing technical and non-technical stakeholder engagements. The successful supplier is Gravitas Recruitment Group Limited, a large-scale organisation based in London, indicating that both regional and larger firms could find similar opportunities within such contracts. Businesses with expertise in developing customer strategies and project mobilisation would be well-suited to engage in this type of service delivery, potentially leading to further partnership opportunities with a significant public authority like Transport for Greater Manchester.
