Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM) has shortlisted four companies who have pre-qualified to bid to operate and maintain Metrolink from 2017, when the current contract ends.
KeolisAmey, National Express, Transdev and RATP Dev have been shortlisted for progression to the tender stage of the procurement process.
The new 10-year contract comes when 2017 marks Metrolink’s silver jubilee and will welcome the completion of the Second City Crossing (2CC), the final piece of a transformational expansion that has trebled the size of the original network.
An invitation to negotiate will be issued in early 2016 and the contract is expected to be signed in January 2017. There will be a six-month mobilisation period with the new contract commencing in July 2017.
