## Summary

Transport for Greater Manchester commissioned a leadership team development programme for its Finance Leadership Team. The requirement is a professional training and development service, focused on developing the capabilities of senior finance staff rather than supplying goods or carrying out construction works. Delivery is in the United Kingdom, with the procurement associated with Transport for Greater Manchester’s Manchester operation. The buying organisation is a sub-central public authority responsible for transport in Greater Manchester. The service falls under CPV 80500000, covering training services. This requirement is relevant to providers of leadership development, executive training, management development and related organisational learning services, particularly those able to design and deliver programmes for finance leaders within a public-sector transport organisation.

The procurement has been completed and the contract is active. Transport for Greater Manchester used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, for a single lot. BARROW & PARKER LTD was selected as the supplier. The contract was signed on 7 July 2026 and runs from 8 July 2026 to 31 October 2026. Its value is £39,500 excluding VAT and £47,400 including VAT. The awarded service is training for the Finance Leadership Team. The published process records the requirement as a completed procurement and the award as active. The route used was therefore a non-competitive, below-threshold purchase rather than an open tender, with the selected supplier engaged to provide the leadership development programme during the stated contract period.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Transport for Greater Manchester for targeted leadership development within a finance function. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to diagnose the development needs of senior finance professionals, design a structured leadership programme and deliver training suited to a public-sector environment. Relevant strengths would include experienced facilitators, a demonstrable record of developing finance leadership teams, and the ability to work with an organisational client on tailored outcomes rather than generic classroom training. Suppliers should also be comfortable delivering professional services at the scale of a focused team programme, managing senior stakeholders and providing a coherent development approach across the engagement. The award to an SME indicates that a specialist provider can meet this type of requirement without being a large national training company.
