We’re proud to announce that DJS Research has been appointed to three key service lots on Transport for Greater Manchester’s (TfGM) four-year Transport Professional Services (TPS) framework, following a rigorous, and highly competitive, procurement process. The multidisciplinary framework has been designed to support the delivery of the next phase of the region’s fully integrated, locally owned travel network – the Bee Network.

 

As one of a maximum of five suppliers selected for each category on the framework, DJS Research will provide specialist services across the following areas:

• Professional advice, management and provision of quantitative and qualitative research (Lot 4);
• Management and provision of interviewer-led fieldwork and tabulation services (Lot 5); and
• Professional advice, management and provision of statutory and informal consultation and/or engagement services (Lot 6).

Greater Manchester is the UK’s largest regional economy outside London, supporting a dynamic, diverse population of more than 2.8 million people in over ten local authority areas. The strength of its progressive integrated transport network, the Bee network, plays a key part in the region’s success. Suppliers on the TPS framework will support TfGM as they implement plans to further enhance and evolve the Bee Network over the next four years, working towards the delivery of a fully integrated, carbon neutral public transport network by 2030.

Our successful appointment to this framework is testament to the expertise of our Transport & Infrastructure team who have worked on some of the most high-profile transport insight projects in the UK. We have a deep understanding of the biggest issues and policy challenges facing the transport industry today from our work across both the public and private sector. Our most recent projects have provided actionable insights on a range of key themes, from decarbonisation and the transition towards electric vehicles through to the expansion of integrated smart ticketing and capacity challenges facing the railways. We’ve also led large-scale public engagements on the reform of public transport systems, along with consultations around better infrastructure to encourage active travel.

DJS Research Director and Transport & Infrastructure Lead Mattt Bristow shared his thoughts on this exciting opportunity: 

“We’re thrilled to be appointed to the TfGM TPS framework. As a locally based agency with a national footprint, we’re excited to have the opportunity to help shape the future of transport in the Greater Manchester region through insight-led strategy, public consultation and stakeholder engagement.”

With our head offices based in Stockport, our teams are looking forward to working on research projects on behalf of TfGM which will help enhance our local transport network to benefit residents, and our employee Partners, across Greater Manchester.
