Summary of the contracting process

Transport for Greater Manchester, on behalf of the Safer Roads Greater Manchester Partnership, is buying connected vehicle data and analytical services. The provider will work with TfGM teams and partner authorities to analyse road-user behaviour and collision risk, support historic trend analysis, provide operational insight and enable real-time interventions. The wider purpose is to improve road safety and support Greater Manchester’s Vision Zero ambition. The requirement is for a multi-use data source with a comprehensive suite of analysis, rather than a one-off data collection exercise. Delivery is across Greater Manchester. The service combines connected-vehicle data supply, collection and analysis; it is classified under CPV 72316000 for data analysis services.

The procurement is complete and an award has been made to COMPASS IOT LIMITED. The award is dated 23 September 2026 and is valued at £590,000 excluding VAT (£708,000 including VAT). The award describes a contract period from 30 October 2026 to 29 October 2027, with a 24-month extension available if required; its maximum extent is 29 October 2029. It followed an open, two-stage competitive flexible procedure, including a written technical test and further evaluation of qualifying submissions. Four bids reached the final stage. Evaluation weighted technical quality at 50%, social value at 10% and commercial cost at 40%. The single lot was marked suitable for SMEs.

This award shows demand from TfGM for a specialist supplier able to provide connected-vehicle data and turn it into practical road-safety insight across Greater Manchester. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need access to a multi-use source of connected-vehicle data, the analytical capability to assess road-user behaviour and collision risk, and the capacity to support historic analysis, operational decision-making and real-time interventions. The supplier must also be able to collaborate with TfGM’s internal teams and partner authorities, and demonstrate a strong technical approach through a written test. Social value formed part of the evaluation, alongside technical quality and price, so suppliers should be able to evidence relevant social value commitments as well as commercial competitiveness. The requirement was suitable for SMEs, indicating that specialist smaller providers could compete.

Notice Information

Notice Title

TfGM Connected Vehicle Data

Notice Description

TfGM is looking to find and contact with a specialist supplier in the area of connected vehicle data. TfGM on behalf of Safer Roads Greater Manchester (SRGM) Partnership is seeking a connected vehicle data provider to collaborate with TfGM's internal teams and partner authorities. SRGM is a multi-agency partnership dedicated to reducing fatalities and serious injuries on Greater Manchester's (GM ) roads by influencing attitudes and behaviours. The Safer Roads Partnership is responsible for countywide functions, as agreed with Greater Manchester partners, including casualty data and analysis, performance monitoring, and safety camera operations. The SRGM Partnership is committed to Vision Zero. Vision Zero represents Greater Manchester's ambition for zero fatalities and life changing injuries (FLCI) on our roads by 2040, whilst increasing safe, healthy and equitable mobility for all. It includes a challenging interim target of 50% reduction in FLCI casualty numbers by 2030, from 2022 levels. The Vision Zero Strategy adopts the Safe System, whereby people, vehicles and the road infrastructure interact in a way that secures a high level of safety. The objective is to deliver a comprehensive suite of analytical services aimed at deepening our understanding of road user behaviour and collision risk. In addition, several further benefits and use cases for connected vehicle data have been identified within TfGM and its partner network. TfGM is therefore looking for a partner who can provide a multi-use source of connected vehicle data. The data will support a range of use cases enabling historic trend analysis, operational insight and real-time intervention.
