## Summary

Rochdale Metropolitan Borough Council has concluded the procurement process for the "Castleton Bee Network Phase 2," a significant construction project within the public works sector. The contract, awarded under the Rochdale Highways Framework Agreement, involves the development of active travel infrastructure connecting Castleton to Rochdale Town Centre. This project, valued at £11,618,090, commenced on 10th March 2025 and aims to complete by 31st March 2027. The procurement was executed through a direct award, with a focus on enhancing local transport links in England, in collaboration with Transport for Greater Manchester. The award was announced on 25th June 2025.

This tender presents substantial growth opportunities for construction firms, especially those experienced in infrastructure work and active travel initiatives. Companies like George Cox & Sons, who specialise in such construction efforts, would find this contract scope highly relevant to their expertise. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged to engage with similar projects, given the project's alignment with SME capabilities. Businesses in the North West of England, with a focus on sustainable and community-centric developments, will find the project's objectives aligned with their growth strategies.

## Notice

Rochdale Borough Council have made an award via the Rochdale Highways Framework Agreement for the works to Castleton Bee Network. The Castleton to Rochdale Bee Network Phase 2 (Phase 2 herein) will connect the highways work recently delivered through Castleton local centre (Phase 1) onwards to Rochdale Town Centre through a further package of complimentary active travel measures along and adjacent to the Manchester Road (A664 and A58) corridor. The scheme elements have been developed collaboratively with colleagues from Transport for Greater Manchester. Although both phases promote active travel, there are different site contexts and treatments within each and the Phase 2 work is to be measured against its own specific deliverables, benefits and scheme metrics.
