Summary of the contracting process

Transport for Greater Manchester required business analyst resource for its BNRI Project. This is a business analysis staffing requirement: the work is to provide business analyst capacity to the project. The procurement is categorised as a service, with recruitment services as the stated classification. The buying organisation is Transport for Greater Manchester. Delivery is in the United Kingdom; the location is identified at country level, rather than a specific town or site.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Transport for Greater Manchester used a below-threshold limited competition. There was one lot, which is complete. STHREE PARTNERSHIP LLP was awarded the contract; the award is active. The contract is active and was signed on 11 March 2026. Its period runs from 11 March to 31 December 2026, with a maximum extent to 31 March 2027. The contract value is £156,384 excluding VAT and £195,480 including VAT. Further business analyst resource may be required on the BNRI Project under a renewal. No evaluation criteria are stated in the published process information.

For suppliers competing for a similar requirement from Transport for Greater Manchester, this award demonstrates demand for business analyst staffing to support the BNRI Project, delivered through a limited competition below the applicable threshold. A credible competitor would need to provide business analyst resource suited to project work and demonstrate the ability to supply that capacity to the buyer. The contract was awarded to a large supplier, STHREE PARTNERSHIP LLP, showing that an established recruitment business was selected. The requirement is for specialist personnel rather than a broad delivery of project services; suppliers with relevant business analyst recruitment and resourcing capability are therefore best placed to compete when this buyer next needs comparable support.
