Summary of the contracting process

Transport for Greater Manchester commissioned recruitment services to provide Readiness Analyst resource for the BNRI Project. The requirement is for analyst staffing rather than a broader recruitment programme: the published description identifies Readiness Analyst resource for this project, and the awarded service is classified as recruitment services. Delivery is stated for the United Kingdom, with no more specific place identified. The contract is managed by Transport for Greater Manchester, the public body responsible for the project requirement. The procurement covered a single lot. This is relevant to recruitment and staffing suppliers able to provide analyst resource for a transport authority’s project; the project-specific nature of the requirement is central to judging fit.

The procurement is complete and awarded. Transport for Greater Manchester used a below-threshold limited competition, and selected Rullion Limited. The contract was signed on 15 June 2026 and runs from 15 June 2026 to 31 December 2026, with a maximum extent to 15 June 2027. Its value is £140,296 excluding VAT (£168,355.20 including VAT). The contract is active, and the buyer has reserved a renewal option: further Readiness Analyst resource may be required on the BNRI Analyst. The process comprised one lot, which is complete. The award is active; the published data gives no evaluation criteria or eligibility requirements.

For suppliers that did not win, this award shows Transport for Greater Manchester buys project-specific analyst staffing through a limited competition below the applicable threshold. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to recruit or supply Readiness Analysts and demonstrate that its candidates can support the BNRI project’s readiness work. The selected provider was a large recruitment company, indicating that established recruitment capacity was accepted for this requirement; this does not make large size a stated condition. The buyer’s stated possibility of requiring further analyst resource also signals a potential need for this type of specialist staffing beyond the immediate assignment. Suppliers with relevant analyst recruitment networks, the ability to respond to a limited competitive process and experience supplying project teams to public bodies are best placed to compete when this buyer’s requirement returns.
