Summary of the contracting process

Transport for Greater Manchester has completed a procurement process for the engagement of temporary Delivery Manager resources to support its Rail PAYG project. The contracting process is classified under the services category, specifically recruitment services, and occurred within the UK, with the buyer's main office situated in Manchester. Following a limited procurement method, this project fell below threshold regulations and has been awarded to RULLION LIMITED. The contract commenced on 13th October 2025, with completion scheduled for 31st March 2026, and it includes provisions for extension up to 31st October 2026 if further expertise is needed. The procurement has transitioned from the tender to the award stage as of 21st January 2026.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses specializing in recruitment and temporary staffing, particularly those experienced in providing management expertise for transportation or infrastructure projects. Companies like RULLION LIMITED that demonstrate an ability to adapt to specific temporary resource needs in the public sector are well-positioned to grow through such engagements. Engaging with sub-central government authorities like Transport for Greater Manchester could lead to further contracts, especially where there is an ongoing need for specialized management skills.
