UK1 - Pipeline Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The upcoming procurement process is being planned by Oldham Metropolitan Borough Council for the "Active Oldham Strategic Partnership Agreement". This notice is part of the planning stage for a project focused on civil engineering construction, aimed at highway improvement projects. The procurement project falls under the industry category of construction work, with relevant CPV code 45000000. Situated in the UKD37 region, specifically in Oldham, the process entails an open procurement method. The contract is anticipated to begin in April 2027 and conclude in March 2031, with a possibility of extensions up to March 2035. The procurement is governed under UK legislation 2023/54, with further updates expected around July 2026. The contract is planned to involve a financial allocation between £20 million and £24 million.

This procurement presents substantial opportunities for growth, especially for businesses specializing in construction and civil engineering projects. It is particularly well-suited for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) capable of delivering comprehensive highway improvement solutions. Participation in this open procedure offers businesses a chance to establish strong working relationships with a local authority, demonstrating capacity and capability within a substantial framework agreement. Furthermore, the potential for renewal and extension within the contract period implies an opportunity for long-term collaboration and sustained business expansion for successful bidders.
