Summary of the contracting process

Oldham Council has initiated a comprehensive procurement process to appoint a Master Developer Private Sector Partner (PSP) for the redevelopment of Oldham Town Centre. The procurement falls under the construction work industry category and aims to achieve the Council's vision for the area through a public-private development partnership. The original tender process began with submissions closing in August 2022, while key amendments were approved as recently as March 2024. Currently, the procurement is at the stage of expanding the scope to include Princes Gate due to strategic planning approvals and available funding. This decision prevents potential loss of £5.552m in grants and ensures compliance with the Greater Manchester Combined Authority's requirements. The project's value is substantial, with an estimated total contract value ranging from £350m to £550m. Oldham Council, based at Civic Centre, West Street, Oldham, is leading the procurement process with Mr Darren Judge as the contact point.

The procurement process has followed a competitive dialogue method, engaging businesses capable of meeting the Council's requirements in terms of financial standing and relevant experience in construction and real estate development services. This project presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in construction works, professional services, architectural design, engineering, and real estate consultancy. The Master Developer PSP will play a key role in contributing towards the council's long-term regeneration goals over a projected 25-year period. Businesses that can offer comprehensive solutions, manage additional opportunity sites, and potentially lead negotiations for third-party land acquisition are highly encouraged to participate. Such projects are a gateway to further opportunities in urban development and thus ideal for firms looking to expand their footprint in regional or local authority projects within the UK.

                "description": "Princes Gate was not included within the Master Development Agreement (dated 11th September 2023) \"MDA\", however the original procurement documentation, dialogue during the developer selection process and final MDA anticipated that - at the Council's discretion - additional land may be sought to be included during the contract term. In March 2024 the Council approved the Acceptance of Brownfield Infrastructure and Land Funding Grant \"BILF\" for Oldham Mumps (which comprised of the small sites already covered by the MDA and the adjacent land at Princes Gate which is an integral part of the recently endorsed Oldham Town Centre Development Framework). There are key delivery milestones of the funding and the developer has recently secured detailed planning permission and procured a main contractor to ensure compliance with GMCA's requirements for Princes Gate. The Council considers that the time required to undertake a procurement process of an alternative developer at Princes Gate would result in the failure of these key milestones being achieved. This would cause a risk of loss of the PS5.552m BILF grant which is conditional on meeting the deadlines and, along with construction cost inflation in the intervening period, is likely to render the project unviable. As a result, it has become necessary to include Princes Gate within the MDA, in order to meet the Council's regeneration and wider policy objectives within the commercial and legal framework of the previously procured MDA. The overall value included in the Contract Notice has an upper limit of PS550m. The estimated Gross Development Value (GDV) of the Princes Gate scheme is PS100m. The value of the extension is therefore substantially less than 50% of the original contract value."
