Summary of the contracting process

Rochale Borough Council is seeking a suitably qualified contractor to carry out culvert works at Rugby Road Industrial Estate, Rugby Road, Rochdale OL11 0EP. The requirement is construction work, covering the repair, alteration or construction activity needed for the culvert at the industrial estate. The work is a public-sector works contract for the council, with delivery in Rochdale, Greater Manchester. The opportunity is aimed at businesses able to undertake civil engineering or construction works associated with culverts and related infrastructure. The procurement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. Participation is geographically restricted to businesses based in Greater Manchester, Lancashire or West Yorkshire, so suppliers outside those areas are not eligible to compete.

The process has reached tender: Rochdale Borough Council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition, described in the requirement as an open restricted tender. There is one lot. Bids must be submitted electronically through the council’s specified procurement system by 10 September 2026 at 12:00. The contract is scheduled to run from 28 September 2026 to 31 December 2026. Its estimated value is £80,000 excluding VAT, or £96,000 including VAT. Evaluation is based on price at 70% and quality at 30%. The tender is governed by the council’s stated terms and conditions; bidders agreeing to submit alternative or amended terms may have their quotations rejected. The requirement is below the relevant threshold.

This opportunity suits a suitably qualified construction or civil engineering contractor with the practical capability to deliver culvert works at an industrial estate. It is particularly relevant to smaller firms and voluntary, community or social enterprises, which the buyer identifies as suitable participants. The main commercial filter is location: the bidding business must be based in Greater Manchester, Lancashire or West Yorkshire. Suppliers should be able to prepare a compliant technical response addressing quality requirements and provide a competitive price, because quality and price together determine the evaluation outcome. The work is a short, defined infrastructure project, making it relevant to contractors able to mobilise for culvert works and complete them within the stated delivery period.
