TfGM awarded the contract to Greater Manchester Buses South Limited (known as Stagecoach) for architectural, construction, engineering, and inspection services to develop an existing bus depot design up to RIBA stage 4. This procurement falls under the services main procurement category and utilised a limited procurement method that was negotiated without the publication of a contract notice. The contract was signed on 23rd August 2022. This procurement presents an opportunity for firms specialising in architectural, construction, engineering, and inspection services to engage in the development of an existing bus depot design. Businesses with expertise in these areas, particularly those familiar with RIBA stage processes and with a focus on innovation and sustainability, would be well-suited to compete for potential future similar contracts. Given the strategic nature of this contract related to the Greater Manchester Bus Franchising Scheme and zero-emission initiatives, companies with a background in public transport infrastructure projects could also find this opportunity aligns with their capabilities and goals for business growth. ## Notice TfGM is seeking to award a contract to Greater Manchester Buses South Limited (known as Stagecoach) for the provision of services to continue the development of an existing design for a bus depot up to RIBA stage 4. ### Lot Information Lot 1 TfGM is seeking to award a contract to Greater Manchester Buses South Limited (known as Stagecoach) for the provision of services to continue the development of an existing design for a bus depot up to RIBA stage 4. ### Procurement Information TfGM is seeking to award a contract to Greater Manchester Buses South Limited (known as Stagecoach) for the provision of services to continue the development of an existing design for a bus depot which is currently developed to RIBA stage 2. Stagecoach commenced the development of the design as part of a project to relocate Stagecoach's bus operations from the existing Stockport Bus Depot to a new site. TfGM, as the Executive Body of The Greater Manchester Combined Authority ("GMCA"), is implementing the Greater Manchester Bus Franchising Scheme under which, the preferred route for depot ownership is by the GMCA as Franchising Authority by acquiring the existing depots of the bus operators in Greater Manchester and making them available to Franchise Operators via TfGM. Furthermore TfGM and Stagecoach have secured funding from the Department for Transport Zero Emission Bus Regional Area fund which together with match funding from TfGM and Stagecoach will deliver a zero emissions fleet of bus vehicles and the associated electric vehicle charging infrastructure for installation within the Stockport bus depot. Stagecoach developed their existing designs as part of the joint bid to incorporate the electric vehicle charging infrastructure into the designs. To secure the aims of the GM Bus Franchising Scheme and the installation of electronic vehicle charging infrastructure, TfGM will now fund the continuation of design development by Stagecoach and their external design consultants through RIBA stages 3 and 4. The design work undertaken by Stagecoach so far meets with TfGM's programme and technical requirements for the provision of a bus depot in Stockport as part of the GM Bus Franchising Scheme and in respect of electrical infrastructure upgrades and therefore it is deemed on the basis of programme and technical grounds that the existing supplier having the accumulated expertise and knowledge obtained during the RIBA 1 and 2 stages of work is best placed to continue delivery of design works up to the completion of RIBA Stage 4 designs. Furthermore appointing Stagecoach to continue the design development work will also provide service continuity and ensure that the number of parties and interfaces which are involved in transferring operations both geographically (to a new site) and also to a new technology are suitably managed and the associated risks mitigated. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/023529-2022 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Limited | | Procurement method details | Negotiated without publication of a contract notice | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 23 Aug 2022 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 22 Aug 2022 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | £575,000 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | TRANSPORT FOR GREATER MANCHESTER | | Locality | MANCHESTER | | Post town | Manchester | | Postcode | M1 3BG | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD3 Greater Manchester | | ITL 3 | TLD33 Manchester | | Local authority | Manchester | | Electoral ward | Piccadilly | | Westminster constituency | Manchester Central | | Delivery location | TLD3 Greater Manchester | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | GREATER MANCHESTER BUSES SOUTH LIMITED (KNOWN AS STAGECOACH | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 71000000 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ## Release History - 23 Aug 2022 at 16:10 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/023529-2022 ## Notice URLs - https://www.tfgm.com ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
