Is the other job a different grade?  Are you permanent staff?  If the answer to both is yes then they can potentially block your move.  

It’s the same grade but the new role is permanent. The current role is fixed term. 

The new team have offered me the role and I have said I want to accept it. So would there be some discussions where the new team withdraw the offer?

Have you not informed them(new team) you already work there?


What was on the application as current employer.

It is normal when looking at internal transfers to be open once you show formal interest in another position.

The new team know I work there, my application form is clear in that I had only been there for a couple of weeks. 

I just did not tell my manager I had applied. 

My thinking was, if I tell my manager and I am unsuccessful it makes it awkard. Either way it’s awkard now.

theoretica

It's the way with temporary posts - lots of people take them who would really like a permanent one and anyone advertising one knows there is a fair chance that whoever they offer it to will continue job hunting and may leave before the end.  Unless maybe they offer the role to someone less likely to be able to secure a permanent role at that level - someone whose career progression really needs that short term role or they pay more for the lack of security. It will be a disappointment to the manager, but probably not a surprise.

Good chance your manager already knows and is waiting for you to tell them

Recruiting manager may have checked the current manager is happy to pass you on or agree a time scale to let you go.
