Case Study: Transport for Greater Manchester achieves streamlined project controls and NEC3 compliance with Oracle Aconex

Transport for Greater Manchester - Customer Case Study

Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM) led a three-year, US$450 million Transport Capital Programme to upgrade Greater Manchester’s public transport network. Using NEC3 contract terms across multiple delivery partners created heavy contract administration burdens—rising email volumes, missed compliance with timescales, and fragmented contract management.

TfGM implemented Oracle’s project controls platform, combined with accredited NEC3 content, workflow mapping and comprehensive training for principal users and partners. The solution enabled open collaboration and automated NEC3 processes, cutting administration time, site meetings and document cycles; it now supports 240+ users from 25 companies (16,500+ logins) and has processed 17,850+ inter-company contract exchanges across 14 projects with improved accuracy, governance and administrative cost savings.
