UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Transport for Greater Manchester procured delivery resource for its Rail PAYG Programme: recruitment services to provide a Rail PAYG Delivery Manager. The requirement concerns supplying delivery management capability to support the programme, rather than buying rail equipment or construction works. The recorded service delivery location is the United Kingdom. The buyer is Transport for Greater Manchester, the public body responsible for the procurement. The contract information identifies a named Delivery Manager role, while the wider requirement is described as delivery resource for the Rail PAYG Programme. This is a specialist staffing requirement linked to the programme’s delivery needs.

The procurement is complete and has resulted in two active awards to Rullion Limited for the same recruitment-services requirement. The first contract, titled Rail PAYG Delivery Manager, was signed on 18 July 2025 and runs from 21 July 2025 to 31 January 2026, with an extension option through 30 June 2026. Its value is £92,886 excluding VAT (£111,463 including VAT). The second contract was signed on 17 December 2025 and runs from 1 January to 30 June 2026; its value is £81,700.50 excluding VAT (£98,040.80 including VAT). The process used limited competition below the applicable threshold. It was organised as one lot. The award basis and award dates are not stated in the published data.

For suppliers competing for similar work, this award shows that Transport for Greater Manchester uses external recruitment services to secure dedicated programme delivery management capability for its Rail PAYG Programme, and that it used limited competition for this requirement. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate access to experienced delivery managers able to support a transport programme, alongside recruitment capacity to identify and supply suitable personnel. The named role indicates demand for an individual who can provide delivery management rather than a broad staffing pool alone. Rullion Limited was selected for both awards, showing that the buyer placed the requirement with a recruitment supplier capable of supporting the role across successive contract periods. Suppliers with evidence of relevant programme delivery placements and the ability to provide continuity would be well placed when this buyer next requires similar support.
