UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Rochdale Borough Council has successfully awarded a contract for the procurement of a MEP and Building Clerk of Works to oversee the Station Gardens project, aimed at delivering 81 houses in the former central retail park in Rochdale town centre. This contract, valued at £75,828.72 gross, was signed on 23rd April 2026 and will remain active until 10th February 2028. The procurement process, conducted through a limited competition method and below the threshold, required a suitably qualified Clerk of Works for construction and MEP services, highlighting the Council's ongoing commitment to enhancing strategic town centre development. The project location is notably accessible, positioned near public transport and within a short walk from the town centre, offering a significant opportunity for growth and urban revitalisation.

The Station Gardens project presents lucrative prospects for businesses specialising in building services consultancy, particularly firms with expertise in high-quality town centre construction and MEP services. WHITELEY EAVES LTD, a small to medium-sized enterprise based in Failsworth, was awarded the contract, demonstrating potential opportunities for other SMEs with similar capabilities. This initiative provides an opportunity for businesses to establish a foothold in a strategic urban location, benefiting from increased visibility and accessibility in Rochdale's revitalised town centre. Project partners like the Rochdale Development Agency play a pivotal role in executing this ambitious development scheme, further fostering potential collaborations and future projects within the region.
