The project, which falls under the construction industry category, involves various works such as traffic management, earthworks, site boundary demarcation, and drainage connectivity. The procurement process followed an open procedure. The contract's initial tender period ended on 23rd August 2024, with the award taking place on 15th October 2024, and Donellon Contractors Ltd, an SME based in the UK, was selected as the supplier. The contract period ranges from 17th October 2024 to 15th July 2025. This project is classified under CPV code 45000000, representing construction work, and encompasses a completion value of £155,499.48 GBP. This tender provides substantial growth opportunities, particularly for SMEs in the construction sector interested in public infrastructure projects. Businesses skilled in road construction, traffic management, and drainage system works will find it especially advantageous to engage in this project. The focus on SMEs and VCSEs (voluntary, community, and social enterprises) demonstrates GMCA's dedication to broadening access and inclusivity for smaller businesses within the public procurement space. Companies equipped with the necessary resources and expertise can leverage this opportunity to enhance their portfolio, gain experience in public sector projects, and potentially establish enduring relationships with local government bodies. ## Notice Link to the Chest:https://www.the-chest.org.uk/\r \r The works are located, within land owned by Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA). A 900mm culverted pipe is located beneath the existing Chichester Street Recycling Centre site at Rochdale. The culvert consists of two sections running from south to north conveying combined water flows from an upper catchment area in Rochdale and discharges to the River Roch. GMCA are currently working on a project to survey a section of the culvert, which would need arranging for a tanker to jet and cleanse a blocked section of the culvert, accessed from MH6. A new access road would be needed to allow the tanker to undertake the pipe maintenance. The scope of the project is as follows:\r \r Road Construction Works\r \r The scope of the works includes, but is not limited to:\r \r Setting up working areas\r Demarcation of site boundary and provision of signage.\r Traffic management of works in or affecting public highway/open areas/car parks.\r Confirm line and level of existing surface water drainage system.\r Survey existing manholes and propose means of connecting proposed road drainage system to existing surface water drainage system.\r Undertake setting out procedures.\r Carry out tree felling.\r Site compaction trial.\r Earthworks and grading to formation level.\r Laying the geogrid combined separator as per the road detail.\r Prepare subbase, base course, and surface layer.\r Testing and quality control.\r \r Test and dispose of excavated material off site.\r The Works are described in greater detail on the drawings. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c4935228-9325-42a3-9735-cff15ab9cbe8 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 15 Sep 2025 | | Submission deadline | 23 Aug 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 14 Oct 2024 | | Contract period | 10 Aug 2025 - 22 Sep 2025 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £200,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £155,499 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | GREATER MANCHESTER COMBINED AUTHORITY | | Locality | MANCHESTER | | Post town | Manchester | | Postcode | M1 6EU | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD3 Greater Manchester | | ITL 3 | TLD33 Manchester | | Local authority | Manchester | | Electoral ward | Deansgate | | Westminster constituency | Manchester Central | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLE Yorkshire and The Humber, TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLI London, TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England), TLL Wales, TLM Scotland, TLN Northern Ireland | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | DONELLON CONTRACTORS | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45000000 - Construction work ## Release History - 15 Sep 2025 at 10:52 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c4935228-9325-42a3-9735-cff15ab9cbe8 - 14 Nov 2024 at 17:41 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/bef93b4a-2179-4888-af02-9d8f4c5e0afd - 9 Aug 2024 at 09:33 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b0583cf7-4ca5-400c-844b-e04473ab3388 - 26 Jul 2024 at 08:35 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/43a1db65-921d-4fad-8405-fe66fa766440 - 25 Jun 2024 at 16:07 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/86f44abe-7843-4cb0-a4ef-061cb3708f2a ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c4935228-9325-42a3-9735-cff15ab9cbe8 15th September 2025 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/bef93b4a-2179-4888-af02-9d8f4c5e0afd 14th November 2024 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/b0583cf7-4ca5-400c-844b-e04473ab3388 9th August 2024 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/43a1db65-921d-4fad-8405-fe66fa766440 26th July 2024 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/86f44abe-7843-4cb0-a4ef-061cb3708f2a 25th June 2024 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.manchesterfire.gov.uk/ - https://www.the-chest.org.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
