Background Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM) delivers the transport policies set by the Greater Manchester Mayor and GMCA and owns Metrolink, the UK's largest light rail network. At TfGM we're working hard to deliver the Bee Network, the Mayor's vision to make travel easier in our dynamic city-region - the UK's largest regional economy outside London with a diverse population of more than 2.8 million people. The Bee Network aims to deliver a single, recognisable iconic bus, Metrolink and active travel brand. TfGM implements the decisions made by Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) and its TfGM Committee to improve transport services and facilities in Greater Manchester. We co-ordinate public transport and other types of travel - like driving, cycling and walking - throughout the ten district areas of Greater Manchester and we work closely with bus, tram and train operators to help put the customer first and improve the journey experience. By investing in new, modern transport interchanges, smarter travel information and our Bee Network app we're making it easier for residents and visitors to get around on public transport. With our partners at Highways England and the ten local authorities we work to keep our roads safe and ease congestion. Our strategic management of the Key Route Network keeps traffic flowing on some of Greater Manchester's busiest roads. We're also planning for a more sustainable future. Through the Greater Manchester 2040 Transport Strategy and Air Quality Action Plan we aim to make our city-region a cleaner, greener and healthier place to live, work and play in. For more information, visit www.tfgm.com. TfGM has been exploring options to replace its SAP ERP system, which is approaching end‑of‑life support and no longer aligns with the organisation's changing requirements. This has strengthened the case for considering a more integrated approach to ERP, one that could support both individual organisational priorities and emerging Group‑wide ambitions.  To understand what a future approach might look like, GMCA, GMFRS, TfGM and strategic partner GMP jointly commissioned a Group & Partner ERP feasibility assessment in late 2025 (collectively referred to as 'Group ERP'). The assessment brought together colleagues from all four organisations and concluded that there is a strong appetite to progress a Group ERP. Taken together, the findings create a compelling environment for moving forward - not simply to modernise existing systems, but to establish a shared digital foundation that supports more consistent processes, harmonised data and clearer insight across the Group, while respecting the distinctive needs, identities and statutory responsibilities of each organisation.  Our vision is to establish a unified Group ERP that transforms how we plan, manage, and deliver services - strengthening our financial management, giving clearer visibility and control over what we spend, improving how we support and develop our people, and enhancing collaboration in ways that respect the distinct identities and statutory responsibilities of each organisation. This will enable the Group to create greater value for the communities and places we serve across Greater Manchester.

The Wordsworth Trust invites applications to tender for a feasibility study to identify a future operating model for Rydal Mount, a heritage property located within the Lake District World Heritage Site. Rydal Mount, the Wordsworths' family home from 1813, was acquired by the Wordsworth Trust in March 2026 with the support of The Julia Rausing Trust and the Charlotte Aitken Trust. The purpose of the feasibility study is to identify a preferred option for the future use and sustainable operation of Rydal Mount within the broader activities of the Wordsworth Trust. It will consider how continued public access can be ensured, how the ambitions of the Wordsworth Trust and its partners can be advanced, and how the property can be operated in a financially sustainable way that supports the long-term resilience of the Wordsworth Trust as a whole. The feasibility study will support strategic decision-making by the Wordsworth Trust's trustees and senior leadership team, and it will advance relationships with funders, partners, and other stakeholders. Balancing experimentation with income generation, this is an exciting opportunity to explore a radically different approach to the management and operation of a heritage property in the 21st century. The guide price for this contract is £60,000 including VAT and all expenses. Please submit your proposal by 9am on Friday 24 July (BST) to k.welland@wordsworth.org.uk.
