    Brief

    This opportunity involves delivering targeted communication activities and travel choice interventions to minimize congestion and delays during the M60 Simister Island construction project (2026-2031) in Greater Manchester. The junction currently handles 90,000 vehicles daily, including commuters, leisure travelers, businesses, and freight movements. The successful supplier will manage weekend closure interventions, develop a comprehensive Travel Choice Communications Plan with stakeholder alignment, and maintain ongoing engagement with the Major Project Delivery Team and Transport for Greater Manchester. The project aims to reduce predicted delays, maintain customer satisfaction, and ensure reliable journey times throughout the roadworks phase by providing tailored communications and travel alternatives for different customer audiences. This builds on previously completed phase planning work (Task S30042) and directly supports the Customer Experience Division's business case for Roads Investment Strategy 3 (RIS3).
