When we procure services from a supplier, we must balance value for money with local needs, environmental factors, social equality and inclusion.
Responsible procurement is a key part of an ethical, environmentally-conscious organisation. We want to work with suppliers who support this approach. Read the GMCA Social Value Policy
We use an online tendering system, ProContract, for all procurement. Register on ProContract.
When you're registered, you'll get information about, and be able to bid for, tendering opportunities with Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM). Additional information is available on bus tendering.

In line with the National Procurement Policy Statement following the release of Procurement Policy Note (PPN) 05/21 by the Cabinet Office in June 2021, TfGM's commercial pipeline provides a forward look of our anticipated outsourcing activity. This information will be reviewed and re-published on a regular basis. For any queries related to these activities, please contact procurement@tfgm.com
