UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM) is in the planning stage of a procurement process for an Asset Management Information System (AMIS). The initiative is focused on supporting the lifecycle management of physical assets across several business areas including facilities management, bus franchises, active travel, ticketing, and customer infrastructure. Located in Manchester, this public authority is currently in the market engagement phase and is seeking input through a Request for Information (RfI) to inform its procurement strategy. The deadline for RfI responses is set for 22 June 2026. The procurement aims to explore solutions that encompass both core asset management functionalities and additional capabilities such as financial tracking and health and safety compliance, with an eventual contract period starting from 1 May 2027 to 30 April 2030, potentially extending until April 2031.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses involved in services related to facilities, fleet management, and building management software. Companies specialising in asset management systems with capabilities in both hardware and software solutions could leverage this tender to advance their business, particularly those with innovative, scalable solutions that meet the comprehensive needs of TfGM. Furthermore, firms that provide robust compliance and performance management solutions, along with financial tracking and maintenance services, would be well-positioned to compete, offering a chance to secure a long-term governmental contract in the transport and infrastructure sector.
