Summary of the contracting process

Oldham Metropolitan Borough Council, a sub-central government public authority, is planning a procurement process for "Heat Network grant funded 'early works' along St Mary's Way". This initiative involves the installation of pipework and heat network infrastructure as part of wider highway works at the Linear Park site. The current stage of the procurement process is planning, with a pipeline notice published on 24th May 2025. Although the procurement route is yet to be determined, interested parties are alerted that the tender might be advertised within the next 18 months. The contract period for the works is planned from 1st February 2026 to 31st May 2026, indicating significant upcoming opportunities in the North West England region within the 'works' category.

This tender presents notable opportunities for business growth, particularly for those specialising in engineering, construction, or long-distance heating solutions. Given the project's scope, companies providing heating equipment or related construction services are likely well-suited to compete for this opportunity. The procurement's mixed nature, potentially encompassing goods or services apart from construction works, also broadens the scope for various sectors. Small and medium-sized enterprises are deemed suitable to participate, highlighting potential business development for a range of companies seeking to contribute to regional infrastructure advances.
