Summary of the contracting process

Rochdale Borough Council has completed a public procurement process for the "RBC Empty Acquisitions Phase 3" project, focusing on the refurbishment of three residential properties within the Borough of Rochdale. The tender falls under the construction industry category and aims to meet the Housing Act 2004 standards by transforming uninhabitable properties into compliant lettable units. Using a limited procurement method, the process began on 6th July 2026 and the contract is set to conclude on 5th November 2026. The contract, valued at £259,643, was awarded to F.S. MOULT & SON LTD, a small to medium-sized enterprise based in Manchester.

This tender offers growth opportunities for businesses specialising in construction and refurbishment works, especially those equipped to handle residential renovations. Companies that excel in meeting housing regulatory standards would be well-suited to future similar projects. The refurbishment initiative supports both the local economy by involving regional suppliers and enhances community housing standards. Such projects can serve as a stepping stone for SMEs looking to expand their portfolios in public procurement processes within the sub-central government sector.
