- Arcadis collaboration selected across five lots on new £120m TfGM framework
- Three lots led by Arcadis, two lots secured by strategic partner Steer
- Framework open to contracting authorities in North West, North East, Yorkshire, East Midlands and West Midlands
- Win further strengthens Arcadis’ longstanding relationship with TfGM
Arcadis has been appointed across five lots on the Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM) Professional Services Framework (2025-2029), a £120m multidisciplinary consultancy framework.
This significant win positions Arcadis as a key partner in the delivery of critical infrastructure and transport projects across Greater Manchester and beyond. The successful lots include:
- Lot 2, Transport Analysis, Strategic Modelling and Economics;
- Lot 11, Design & Engineering Services – Buildings;
- Lot 16, Multi-Disciplinary Services.
Arcadis has also partnered with consultancy Steer to further strengthen our market offering, for which we were successful in a further two lots that will be led by Steer. These included:
- Lot 4, Quantitative & Qualitative Research;
- Lot 10 Design & Engineering Services – Streets for All.
This success further strengthens Arcadis’ longstanding relationship with TfGM, whilst providing a vital route to market for a broad range contracting authorities over the next four years and beyond, covering the North West, North East, Yorkshire, East Midlands and West Midlands. These include public transport bodies, local authorities, combined authorities, police forces, fire and rescue services, and ambulance services.
Richard Hill, Local Government Sector Lead – Mobility at Arcadis said:
“The TfGM Framework represents a huge leap forward in delivering our local authority growth strategy in the North. Previously appointed to a limited number of lots, our position on the new Multi-Disciplinary Lot now gives us access to the full suite of services required by the client. As a trailblazing Strategic Authority, TfGM/GMCA now has greater powers to deliver across the region, and this framework provides us with the opportunity to improve the quality of life for residents in Greater Manchester. I’m incredibly proud of the team and excited to get started on mobilisation with our local clients.”
Richard Jones, City Executive for the North at Arcadis, added:
“Greater Manchester is at the forefront of the UK’s devolution revolution, with significant planned investment through the TfGM Framework anticipated to exceed £120m over the next five years.
This makes it a strategically critical win for Arcadis in the North. Securing places across five lots, including, for the first time, the Multi-Disciplinary and Architecture Lots, means we are well-positioned to support a diverse range of projects for our key local government clients. I’d like to thank our bid team for their outstanding effort in delivering a complex submission. Their hard work has paid off and we now have a strong platform for future growth across the region.”
