Summary of the contracting process

Transport for Greater Manchester, a public authority operating at the sub-central government level, has completed a procurement process for the Delivery Manager Requirement as part of their Rail PAYG Programme. The procurement, carried out through a limited competition method due to its below-threshold nature, was awarded to RULLION LIMITED, a large supplier based in Altrincham. This service-oriented contract, falling under the recruitment services category (CPV code 79600000), covers a period from 13 October 2025 to 31 March 2026, with a possibility of renewal for an additional seven months if needed. The contract was signed on 9 October 2025, valued at £161,400, with a gross amount of £193,680, and delivery is focussed in the UK, specifically the North West region.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in recruitment services to engage with a significant public sector authority like Transport for Greater Manchester. Companies operating within the realm of recruitment, particularly those with expertise in programme and project management, will find this kind of engagement beneficial for expanding their service portfolios and enhancing their credentials within the public sector. This opportunity is particularly well-suited for large-scale enterprises capable of delivering specialised delivery manager roles in transport infrastructure projects. The potential for contract renewal also presents an extended business opportunity, encouraging continued partnership and resource engagement beyond the initial contract term.
