Bus Depot Electrification Programme (Tranche 5+)

Transport for Greater Manchester

Procurement identifier (OCID): ocds-h6vhtk-05ebf4

Description

TfGM is looking to establish a framework with a single contracting partner for the delivery of the next and final tranches of the Bus Depot Electrification Programme. The delivery will included both design and final construction delivery for each depot as well as any enhancement work required for existing depots already fully electrified.

Currently the designs are at RIBA stage 2 and the appointed contracting partner will progress these further to detailed design (RIBA stage 4) through to future construction, delivery and handover.

The initial programme requirements cover the design and construction at the Wigan and Wythenshawe Bus Depots. The intention is that subject to the successful delivery of both Wigan and Wythenshawe, TfGM will award further call off contracts for additional depots along with any further electrification enhancement work at depots already electrified.

The overriding objective of the new delivery model is to enable TfGM to sustainably and safely develop a range of electrical infrastructure interventions in the least disruptive manner to the ongoing operation; whilst maximising efficiency and effectiveness through innovation in relation to time, cost and quality as well as delivering tangible social value benefits withing Greater Manchester and supporting TfGM in its ambition to be a carbon neutral organisation by 2038.
