Summary of the contracting process

Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM) has recently completed a procurement process for the "TfGM 2 Wheels GM Contract", awarding it to Dynamic Initiatives Limited. This procurement falls under the categories of advertising and safety education services and is situated in Greater Manchester, United Kingdom. This direct award contract was made under Schedule 5 part 5 of the Procurement Act due to the unique intellectual property and exclusive rights held by Dynamic Initiatives for the 2 Wheels GM brand. This arrangement enables the continuation of motorbike safety training for workplaces across Greater Manchester. The new contract commenced on 27 February 2026 and runs for a 2+1-year term, possibly extending to January 2029, with a total contract value of £345,582 (gross).

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in safety training, advertising, and related services. Companies capable of providing tailored safety solutions and possessing a keen interest in workplace training for motorcycle safety could find success in similar future contracts. Given the exclusive nature of this direct award, businesses aiming to support TfGM's essential safety initiatives can leverage strategic partnerships, such as subcontracting or collaborative projects with current contract holders, to enhance their service offerings and client reach in the burgeoning Greater Manchester market.

Notice Title

TfGM 2 Wheels GM Contract

Notice Description

TfGM require a new contract with Dynamic Initiatives Ltd (Dynamic) for access to the 2 Wheels Greater Manchester (2WGM) brand and to provide motorbike safety training in workplaces across GM. The current contract with Dynamic has ended and given the branding copyright and lack of alternative provider (that can provide this training in the workplace), the intention is to continue with this service going forward. The new contract will be a 2+1-year term contract. PLEASE NOTE - there is only one contract associated with this notice and not two - the notice required information for two contracts to be added even though only one was added.

Procurement Information

The intention is to direct award this contract to Dynamic using Schedule 5 part 5 of the Procurement Act. As this supplier provides a copyrighted product and there are no suitable alternatives in the market (given how this product is specifically designed for motorcycle users in the workplace, an area that isn't covered by anyone else). Dynamic has developed a website and brand (2 Wheels GM) over the years of working with TfGM and they own the rights on that name. The 2 Wheels GM brand has become known across GM by the motorcycle community (something which TfGM has struggled in the past to access) and has helped promote motorcycle safety. A number of local businesses and employers have signed up to the 2 Wheels GM website over the years, where they share this information with their employees, to push the message further out there. To start with a new supplier of this service now, would mean losing access to this brand and a loss of all of the work that has been put in previously to get the brand recognised and accepted.
