Summary of the contracting process

Transport for Greater Manchester is buying internal alteration works to the basement of its headquarters at Piccadilly Place, Manchester. The project provides two additional showers, new changing facilities and a dedicated room for specialist equipment. The work is construction and refurbishment within an existing building, rather than a new-build project, and is intended to improve the facilities available at the headquarters. The requirement is for one supplier to carry out the works at this Manchester site.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Schofield and Sons Ltd. TfGM used a below-threshold limited competition for a single lot. The contract was signed on 1 October 2026 and runs from 1 October to 24 December 2026; the specified delivery period is 12 weeks. The contract value is £135,736.66 excluding VAT, or £162,883.99 including VAT. The published outcome identifies construction work and the selected supplier, but gives no further detail on the evaluation criteria.

The award shows demand from Transport for Greater Manchester for small-scale internal building works at its Manchester headquarters, including alterations to basement space and installation of shower, changing and specialist equipment facilities. A credible competitor for a similar future requirement would need to deliver refurbishment within an occupied public-sector building, coordinate the relevant building trades and specialist fit-out, and complete a defined package of work to a short programme. The chosen supplier was a small or medium-sized enterprise, showing that this project was within the scale of an SME contractor. Experience managing internal alterations and delivering practical facilities upgrades would be directly relevant to this buyer’s requirement.
