UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Oldham Metropolitan Borough Council intends to procure servicing and responsive repair for roller shutters and automatic doors across its council-owned and managed assets. The scope covers schools, public buildings, parkland, other council sites and associated assets in Oldham and its parishes. Services include planned maintenance, statutory testing, reactive repairs, emergency response and minor replacement works. This is a building repair and maintenance services contract, classified under CPV 50000000 for repair and maintenance services. The work will support the continued operation, safety and availability of access systems across the Council’s property portfolio. Suppliers should be able to operate across multiple public buildings and sites within the Metropolitan Borough of Oldham and deliver both planned and urgent maintenance activity.

The procurement is at the planning stage: the Council has announced its intention to procure, but has not yet invited tenders. It expects to use an open tender procedure for services, with the procurement above the relevant threshold. The planned contract is a single lot, currently marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The indicative contract period is 1 April 2027 to 30 March 2031. The estimated value is £432,000 excluding VAT, or £518,400 including VAT. The Council has scheduled preliminary market engagement for 21 September 2026 and expects a tender notice to follow on 1 October 2026. These are the buyer’s stated expectations rather than deadlines for submitting a bid.

This procurement will suit specialist door and access-system maintenance contractors with experience servicing, testing, repairing and replacing roller shutters and automatic doors. Strong candidates will need the operational capacity to cover a varied public-sector estate, manage planned maintenance alongside reactive call-outs, and provide emergency responses when access equipment fails. Relevant experience in schools, public buildings or other managed property environments would help suppliers demonstrate that they can work safely around occupied sites and maintain service continuity. The requirement also suits smaller firms: the planned single lot is expressly identified as suitable for SMEs. Businesses that can combine statutory testing, scheduled servicing, fault diagnosis, minor works and responsive attendance may be well placed when the tender reaches the market.
