UK1 - Pipeline Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Oldham Metropolitan Borough Council is planning a procurement process for the "Highways Heavy Plant Hire (including with driver)" project, which falls under the works industry category and targets the UKD3 region within the United Kingdom. This initiative is currently at the planning stage, as indicated by the pipeline notice published on 22 May 2025, with a forthcoming notice date scheduled for 1 August 2025. The procurement process might adapt as specifics are determined, and it is expected that the framework agreement could open intermittently throughout its 8-year term. The estimated budget allocated for this framework ranges from £12,000,000 to £20,000,000.

This procurement opportunity could significantly benefit businesses specializing in the hire of construction and civil engineering machinery and equipment with operators. Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, given the contract’s suitability provisions supporting their involvement. Companies that can provide comprehensive plant hire services, particularly those with capabilities in highway maintenance projects, stand a good chance of thriving within this framework. Businesses can prepare to align their strategic planning and resources to advantageously position themselves when the formal tender opportunities are announced.
