The Greater Manchester Passenger Transport Executive (GMPTE) has appointed Mace as one of its consultancy framework service providers for programme and project management and contract administration.
The four-year consultancy framework will be used to deliver a wide range of infrastructure projects for bus, rail and tram services including the high profile planned expansion of the Metrolink tram network which will see investment of £650m over the next few years. Other activities include new quality bus corridors, bus rapid transit schemes, new and refurbished transport interchanges and the expansion and improvement of existing transport/infrastructure facilities.
Finally, earlier this year GMPTE submitted a bid to improve public transport across Greater Manchester to the government's Transport Innovation Fund (TIF). If successful, GMPTE will invest a further £3 billion on further expansions to the Metrolink network and schemes to improve heavy rail and bus infrastructure for Manchester City Centre.
