    Brief

    Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM) is seeking a contracting partner to develop and deliver electrical infrastructure proposals for Tranche 5 and potentially Tranche 6 of the Bus Depot Electrification Programme. Tranche 5 covers the electrification of bus depots in Wigan and Wythenshawe, with Tranche 6 expected to include approximately 3 additional depots of similar size. The appointed contractor will progress the design from the current RIBA stage 2 (Concept Design) through to detailed design (RIBA stage 4) and support future construction activities. This is a significant infrastructure project aimed at reducing emissions and modernizing TfGM's bus fleet operations. Interested suppliers should have experience in electrical infrastructure design, bus depot projects, and delivering complex transport initiatives.
