The framework includes key programmes such as the next phase of the Bee Network—Greater Manchester's vision for a fully integrated, carbon neutral public transport system, as well as major infrastructure projects like Northern Powerhouse Rail, the New Stations Programme, and the renewal and expansion of the Metrolink network.

Robert Whitham, Lead for Local Authority Transportation, Mace Consult, said: "Securing a place on this framework presents a valuable opportunity to continue working closely with TfGM. Building on a long track record of delivering major programmes across Greater Manchester, Mace will bring commercial expertise to support the delivery of transport projects that enhance connectivity and contribute to the region’s long-term growth."
