Opportunity overview

Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM), is issuing this notice to engage with the market to find and to contact, specialist suppliers in the area of Security Operations Centres (SOC). The current contract that TfGM has for providing this service is due to end in September 2026 and TfGM are looking to start the process of procuring a new contract now. TfGM has an in-house Information Services (IS) department that provides IT services to TfGM employees and the travelling public. The IS department is responsible for the security of the services it provides and is seeking a supplier to enhance its ability to detect, respond and recover from cyber-security incidents through a managed 24x7x365 Security Operations Centre Capability. TfGM is therefore looking at running a procurement exercise, starting as soon as is practicable in 2026, for a supplier to provide this service. It is not known at this time what the procurement strategy will be (framework or other route) and it is the intention of this exercise to not only find out who can supply this service but also to get assistance with what will be included in the final specification and the best method of interacting with the suppliers / market.
