In plain English
Transport for Greater Manchester wants to buy a smart software platform that collects real-time transport data from buses, trams, and roads, combines it all in one place, and uses AI to help their control centre spot problems faster and manage traffic better. It's a cloud-based system they'll use 24/7 to improve how they handle incidents and coordinate responses across the region.
What the buyer wants
• Provide a cloud-hosted AI-powered platform that pulls in live multimodal transport data (buses, trams, roads, etc.) and displays it all in one unified dashboard • Detect, verify and prioritise transport incidents automatically, reducing manual data work • Integrate with multiple existing TfGM systems and data feeds • Support 24/7 operational use by their control centre teams with a configurable, mature platform
Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
This is a £1 million+ enterprise software platform contract requiring deep expertise in AI, cloud architecture, transport systems integration, and large-scale 24/7 operations. Most small trades and even small IT firms will not have the technical depth, team size, or track record required. You will almost certainly need to be a mid-tier software company with relevant public sector experience.
How to bid
This is an open tender: any eligible business can respond directly to the buyer by the deadline, with no framework membership needed.
