    Brief

    Manchester Airports Group (MAG) is seeking suppliers to establish a Framework Agreement for implementing Departure Manager (DMAN) systems at Manchester (MAN) and London Stansted (STN) Airports. Currently, both airports operate Pre-Departure Sequencer (PDS) systems that rely heavily on manual air traffic controller expertise and lack comprehensive functionality. In compliance with the 2022 amendment to EU Air Traffic Management Regulation (No 716/2014), MAG must implement modern DMAN systems to enable more intelligent and integrated airport operations. The successful supplier will deliver a highly adaptable, interoperable, and integrated DMAN solution that meets all specified requirements. Implementation must be completed before new Electronic Flight Progress Strip (EFPS) systems with Integrated Controller Working Positions (ICWP) are installed, with target completion dates of 2028 for Manchester and 2032 for Stansted. The solution should support air traffic controllers with advanced departure sequencing capabilities while ensuring seamless integration with future systems and regulatory compliance.
