About

Transport For Greater Manchester awarded a contract to SWARCO UK & Ireland Ltd for the supply, installation and maintenance of Variable Message Signs (VMS) and car park monitoring infrastructure.

The contract covered provision and ongoing maintenance of TfGM's strategic VMS network, which informed highway users of incidents, events, car park information and dynamic journey times and was operated and scheduled by TfGM Control Centre Officers on a 24/7 basis.

It also covered the operation and maintenance of car park counting sites that provided real-time occupancy data for TfGM's common database and Open Data Portal, and included maintenance of existing assets.

The award was for a 3+1+1 term, with the additional years as possible extensions (a potential five-year period overall).

TfGM procured the contract using the CCS RM6099 framework, Lot 4 (let under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015), and the supplier was selected based on the most economically advantageous tender (MEAT) in line with PCR15.
