UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Transport for Greater Manchester engaged project planner resource for its Rail PAYG Programme. This is a project planning service supporting the programme; the published procurement classifies the associated service as recruitment services (CPV 79600000). The buying organisation is Transport for Greater Manchester. Delivery is in the United Kingdom, with no more specific delivery place identified in the procurement details. The requirement is for project planner capacity rather than a defined physical supply or construction package, and relates specifically to the Rail PAYG Programme.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Rullion Limited, which signed the contract on 6 July 2026. The award is active. It was a below-threshold limited competition, with one lot; the recorded award is for services. The contract runs from 6 July to 31 December 2026, with a maximum extent to 30 June 2027. Its value is £165,323.52 excluding VAT and £206,654.40 including VAT. The contract allows renewal, and the stated rationale is that further project planner resources may be required on the Rail PAYG Programme. No evaluation criteria are recorded in the procurement details.

This award demonstrates demand from Transport for Greater Manchester for project planner resource to support its Rail PAYG Programme, procured through a limited competition below the applicable threshold. Suppliers competing for a similar requirement would need to show they can provide credible project-planning personnel and meet the programme’s resource needs. Rullion Limited, a large supplier, was selected, indicating that an established resourcing provider was capable of delivering the requirement. Recruitment and workforce suppliers with access to suitably experienced project planners, and the capacity to supply them for a defined programme period, are the closest fit. The procurement does not record specific professional accreditations, technical standards or detailed experience thresholds, so the evidence points to planner resourcing capability rather than any named qualification.
