Summary of the contracting process

Oldham Metropolitan Borough Council intends to procure reactive building repair and maintenance works across council buildings, schools, parkland, assets and sites within the Metropolitan Borough and parishes of Oldham where the council has an interest. The scope covers various minor works disciplines for schools, offices, other council buildings and infrastructure. The requirement is for repairs and maintenance only, rather than planned improvement or construction programmes. Work will be delivered across Oldham and will support the upkeep of public buildings, land, assets and infrastructure. The main category is construction and building repair and maintenance work. The procurement is being developed as a single requirement covering the council’s relevant estate and sites.

This procurement is at the planning stage: Oldham Council has announced its intention to procure, and a tender notice is expected later. The council plans to use an open procedure involving a framework agreement. The estimated value is £6,000,000 excluding VAT (£7,200,000 including VAT). The planned contract period is 2 March 2027 to 1 March 2033, with an option to renew until 1 March 2034. The requirement is above the applicable threshold and is divided into one lot. The lot is planned to be suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Preliminary market engagement is scheduled to run to 31 August 2026, before the tender process is commenced. Response times and service levels will form part of the eventual requirement.

This will suit building repair and maintenance contractors able to provide several minor works disciplines across a varied public-sector estate. Relevant capability includes reactive building repairs, maintenance of schools and offices, and work on council infrastructure, parkland assets and other sites. Suppliers should prepare for service delivery where response speed is central: the requirement describes response times ranging from one hour to 28 days, depending on the repair, with service levels to be set. Businesses that can mobilise quickly, manage varied repair requests and evidence reliable performance across multiple locations are likely to be well placed. The single-lot structure and stated SME suitability may also suit smaller contractors, although the breadth of the estate favours firms with sufficient operational coverage or established delivery partnerships.
