UK1 - Pipeline Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Oldham Metropolitan Borough Council is currently in the planning stage of their procurement process for a Highways, Minor Works Framework. This procurement falls under the category of construction work and is situated in the UKD3 region. The anticipated framework aims to support highways-related minor works and is expected to last up to eight years. Although this is currently a pipeline notice and does not require an immediate response, interested parties should anticipate further announcements, with the next significant update expected by 1st September 2025. The framework, estimated to be valued at £8 million GBP, will be flexible, allowing for an “Open Framework” approach that can be adjusted as necessary in conformity with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and other applicable legislation.

This forthcoming tender presents substantial opportunities for SMEs, especially those specialising in construction and infrastructure improvements. As the framework will be structured into various lots, businesses capable of delivering minor works efficiently could find this an excellent prospect to secure long-term contracts within the public sector. Given its significant potential value, companies engaged in construction, civil engineering, and related sectors should monitor these developments closely to position themselves advantageously when the tender invitation is eventually released. Moreover, the adaptable procurement approach may present varied chances for collaboration and partnership throughout the project's duration, thus bolstering business growth and market presence within this geographical area.
