Summary of the contracting process

The Oldham Metropolitan Borough Council is planning a significant procurement process entitled the "Active Oldham Strategic Partnership Agreement (AOSPA)." This procurement, under the public authority's sub-central government classification, is in the planning update stage. The initiative aims to execute a series of highway improvement and public realm projects in Oldham Town Centre as part of a broader strategy to enhance accessibility and connectivity via various transport modes. The project is categorised under the construction work industry with an estimated gross value of £24,000,000. The procurement is being managed through an open procedure, with electronic submissions accepted in English. Key dates include the end of the tender period on 6th November 2026, with the award period concluding by 1st March 2027.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in construction, infrastructure development, and urban planning, particularly those capable of delivering high-specification civil engineering projects. The procurement process favours companies that can provide both qualitative excellence and social value alongside competitive pricing. The framework agreement allows up to two participants, encouraging collaborations between the council and suppliers to optimise delivery and foster continuous improvement. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are considered suitable bidders, creating avenues for smaller firms to engage with large-scale public works, potentially fostering growth and increased market presence within the region.
