## Summary

Transport for Greater Manchester procured services to continue the existing Aimsun Live deployment at Hindley for the 5G Innovation Regions programme. The work covers operating, maintaining and optimising the traffic management system, together with integrating INRIX Floating Vehicle Data. The integration is intended to improve network insight, journey-time monitoring and digital traffic management capability. The requirement is classified as traffic monitoring services (CPV 63712710). Delivery is in the United Kingdom, for Transport for Greater Manchester, whose base is in Manchester. This is a specialist transport technology and traffic data requirement rather than general IT support, construction or the supply of physical equipment. It is relevant to suppliers with experience of Aimsun Live, traffic modelling or monitoring platforms, and floating vehicle data integration.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition. One lot was used. AIMSUN LIMITED was selected as the supplier and the award is active. The contract was signed on 18 August 2026 and runs from 15 September 2026 to 15 September 2027. Its value is £50,000 excluding VAT and £60,000 including VAT. The awarded requirement is the one-year continuation of the existing Hindley Aimsun Live deployment, including operation, maintenance, optimisation and INRIX Floating Vehicle Data integration. The process therefore reflects a direct continuation with the incumbent technology provider, rather than a competitive tender with multiple bidders or separately priced lots. Transport for Greater Manchester is the buying organisation.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award indicates a defined demand from Transport for Greater Manchester for continued operation and improvement of an Aimsun Live traffic system. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need demonstrable capability in operating, maintaining and optimising Aimsun Live deployments, particularly in a live transport-network setting. It would also need to integrate floating vehicle data, turn data into network insight and journey-time monitoring, and support digital traffic management decisions. Relevant experience should combine traffic monitoring, transport technology and data integration rather than offer these as unrelated services. The selected supplier is an SME, showing that this specialist requirement can be delivered by a focused technology business.

## Notice

Continuation of the existing Aimsun Live Hindley deployment through a one-year extension, covering ongoing operation, maintenance, and optimisation. The extension also includes integration of INRIX Floating Vehicle Data into the system to enhance network insight, journey time monitoring, and digital traffic management capability.
