Summary of the contracting process

Oldham Metropolitan Borough Council is seeking a contractor for general groundworks and landscaping across council buildings, schools, parkland, assets and other sites where the council has an interest. The work covers the Metropolitan Borough of Oldham and its parishes. Required services include reactive repairs, emergency response and minor replacement works. This is a construction works requirement, encompassing maintenance and small-scale improvements to council-owned or supported sites. Suppliers should expect to respond to varied work across multiple types of public locations rather than deliver a single defined construction project.

The council invited offers through an open competition. The process reached the tender stage, with electronic submission allowed. The enquiry deadline was 25 November 2026 at 12:00 UTC, and the submission deadline was 2 December 2026 at 12:00 UTC. The single lot has an estimated value of £240,000 excluding VAT (£288,000 including VAT). The contract period is 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2031. Offers are evaluated on quality (50%), social value (10%) and price (40%).

This requirement suits groundworks and landscaping contractors able to undertake responsive repairs, emergency call-outs and minor replacement works across a varied estate of public buildings, schools and outdoor sites. The work is spread across Oldham and its parishes, so bidders should be able to mobilise and manage jobs at multiple locations and respond to urgent requests as well as planned work. Small and medium-sized enterprises are identified as suitable, making the opportunity accessible to firms with the capability to deliver a broad programme of local maintenance and improvement work. Quality and social value together account for 60% of the evaluation, so bidders should be prepared to demonstrate sound delivery methods and relevant social value commitments alongside competitive pricing.
