TfGM Asset Management Information System (AMIS)
Authority: Transport for Greater Manchester (Public body)
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionTransport for Greater Manchester (TfGM) is seeking to procure an Asset Management Information System (AMIS) to support the full lifecycle management of primarily physical assets across multiple business areas, including:
- Facilities- TfGM-owned or managed buildings and operational sites, along with all physical assets required to run them (bust stations, shelters, offices, lifts etc.)
- Bus Franchise- franchised bus operations, including operator-managed and TfGM-owned assets (bus fleet, depot engineering assets, on-bus technology etc.)
- Active Travel- walking and cycling infrastructure assets (cycle stands etc.)
- Ticketing- assets used to enable fare collection and retail across Bee Network (ticket machines, portable ticket scanners)
- Customer infrastructure- customer facing assets, which enable travel information, accessibility (Passenger information displays, digital signs etc.)
TfGM is exploring whether a single solution can support both:
- Core asset management functionality (e.g. asset register, maintenance, compliance), and
- Enhanced capabilities (e.g. financial tracking, health & safety, contractual performance management)
TfGM is therefore looking at running a procurement exercise, starting as soon as is practicable in 2026, for a supplier to provide a system / service which meets its needs in this area.
It is not known at this time what the procurement strategy will be (framework or other route) and it is the intention of this exercise to not only find out what the market can provide in this area but also to decide on the best method of interacting with the suppliers / market.

How Transport for Greater Manchester buys Repair and maintenance services of motor vehicles and associated equipment (CPV 5011), and who usually turns up
Transport for Greater Manchester’s published record next to the market for the same work. Frameworks and DPS are left out: they draw different bid counts. Whole-market view: Repair and maintenance services of motor vehicles and associated equipment (CPV 5011) →
How the contest usually goes
Winner shares use published awards; bid and price charts use contested lots.
i
How often small and medium firms win.
Share of awards where the winner’s size is known.
The counts under this question show how many awards have a known supplier size.
Small firms have won here. Neither number says whether you qualify; it describes who has been winning.
i
How often local firms win similar work.
Winners with a registered address in the delivery region, out of awards with a known address.
Local means the winner is registered in the region where that award was delivered. The market figure counts awards delivered in North West England.
A local branch does not count if the registered address is elsewhere.
Most of this buyer’s recorded winners were registered outside the region where that award was delivered.
i
How long buyers here take to decide after bids close.
Middle value in days from the bid deadline to the award date, on competitions that published both.
Only decided tenders count, so slow ones still waiting are not in.
Half of these awards have an award date within 77 days of the bid deadline.
i
How often work is awarded with no recorded rival.
Direct awards and tenders where every published lot count shows one bid.
Both shares are minimums: some awards have no bid count.
Thin markets produce this too; it is not proof of a tailored specification.
Missing bid counts may hide more single-bid awards. This share is a minimum.
How many bids did past lots attract?
i
How many bids past lots received.
Each colour is a bid-count range. Only competed lots with a published count are included.
Past bids do not predict this tender.

How did awards compare with estimates?
i
Where winning prices landed against estimates.
Each colour shows awards below, close to or above the published estimate, one lot at a time.
Past prices are a guide, not a bid price.

How many bids this lot may attract.
The forecast uses similar past competitions. The bar shows either that forecast or past bid counts; the line below says which.

About this data
- Source. Official UK public procurement notices (Find a Tender), reused under the Open Government Licence v3.0. New notices arrive through the day; the figures are rebuilt nightly.
- Two views, kept apart. The authority’s own track record and the wider market for the same kind of work sit side by side and are never mixed. Where the local picture is too thin, a figure widens to a broader market and says which one it used.
- Forecasts are labelled. The price forecast and its range, possible competitors and the earlier-work matches are our estimates from past awards: not published facts, not win chances and not price advice. Official notices do not say who is bidding.
- Every figure shows what it rests on. Not every notice publishes a bid count, a value or a delivery region, so each figure carries the number of records behind it, and one built on few records is marked as such. The on a figure explains it; the counting rules are in the methodology. Spotted something wrong? Tell us.
