Summary of the contracting process

Transport for Greater Manchester, a sub-central government public authority, has completed a procurement process titled "Business Analyst Resource" under the services category. This tender, conducted using a limited procurement method due to its below-threshold category, sought experienced Business Analysts with specific expertise in retail and payments as part of their Ticketing procurement programme. The process was culminated with the awarding of the contract on 25th July 2025, with active services beginning on 1st August 2025 and set to conclude on 31st December 2025. Notably, there exists an option for a six-month extension if further services are required, potentially extending it until 30th June 2026. The services are to be delivered within the Greater Manchester area.

This tender presents lucrative opportunities for businesses specialising in Business Analyst services, particularly those with a strong background in retail and payment systems. The awarded contract, valued at over £75,000, was secured by STHREE PARTNERSHIP LLP, a large-scale supplier based in London. Companies with relevant experience in recruitment services and a capacity to deliver specialised analytical consulting can find similar opportunities in such governmental procurement tenders. The potential for contract extensions further increases the attractiveness of such opportunities for long-term business growth and stability.
