## Summary

The procurement process involves First Choice Homes Oldham, which is engaged in delivering an ambitious development programme with the goal of constructing at least 800 housing units within the Borough of Oldham by 2020. The tender titled "FCHO Consultant Framework Agreement" falls under the architectural and related services category and has an estimated value of £4,840,000. The procurement method used is the open procedure, and the award for this contract was made on 2nd January 2019, with the contract period running from 7th January 2019 to 6th January 2023.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in architectural services and related consultancy work. Companies that can effectively navigate complex site conditions and develop properties under various tenures—such as social rent, affordable rent, and outright sale—will find themselves well-suited to compete. The scope of work required and the commitment to a mixed development programme underscore potential for collaboration and growth in the North West region, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises looking to expand their project portfolio.

## Notice

FCHO and their development company New Living Homes have an ambitious development programme to deliver a minimum of 800 units by 2020 (200 of which are already under construction) and secure a pipeline of land for a forward programme to be delivered over the next 5 years. Sites will be of all tenures and mostly be situated within the Borough of Oldham. However, where good opportunities are present, development activity will move outside of the Borough, particularly for sites containing open market sale properties. Sites will range in size and nature; however the challenging conditions and topography surrounding the area will most likely be present on most sites. The programme will contain a range of property types to meet the needs of the market; these will wherever possible be developed from standard house types. The programme will contain a mix of tenures, incorporating social rent, affordable rent, PRS, shared ownership, rent to buy and outright sale.
