Vision, Priority Areas and Strategic Goals Oldham Council's bold vision for Oldham Town Centre and wider borough is embedded within the PS285m Creating a Better Place strategic framework, which has a focus on; building good quality homes; providing opportunities to learn and gain skills; growing local businesses and creating jobs; improving residents' life chances, health, and wellbeing; and, embedding sustainability to make Oldham the greenest borough in Greater Manchester. It is on this strategic framework that the vision for Oldham's Town Investment Plan is built - that by 2030, Oldham will be a place where business and enterprise can thrive and where people will want to live, visit, relax and work. The Oldham Town Investment Plan can be viewed here: The Opportunity Substantial investment is ongoing in Oldham's town centre, with high-quality public realm at Parliament Square in the renovated Old Town Hall area, alongside investment into the appearance and functionality of surrounding streets. Oldham Council bought Spindles Town Square Shopping Centre in October 2020, to take control of this strategically important scheme located at the heart of the town centre. Works are underway to undertake a comprehensive redevelopment of the shopping centre to provide a new home for Tommyfield Market, a Civic Hub, Event Space and Archive, as well as consolidate the retail core. The redevelopment of Spindles Town Square Shopping Centre and the relocation of Tommyfield Market will free up previously developed land across the town centre. This includes the sites of the current market hall and the former leisure centre, which the Council plans to bring back to life, centred around a brand new 5.7-acre park. The Sites The 5 Sites are each situated in core town centre locations and therefore present a unique opportunity to provide a significant contribution towards the transformation of Oldham town centre. The sites are: 1) Civic Centre 2) Tommyfield Market 3) Former Leisure Centre 4) Former Magistrates Court & Manchester Chambers 5) Bradshaw Street ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/325976fb-34e7-46fa-8433-1c107a262174 | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 30 Mar 2022 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 25 Apr 2022 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | OLDHAM COUNCIL | | Locality | OLDHAM | | Post town | Oldham | | Postcode | OL1 1UT | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD3 Greater Manchester | | ITL 3 | TLD37 Greater Manchester North East | | Local authority | Oldham | | Electoral ward | Coldhurst | | Westminster constituency | Oldham West, Chadderton and Royton | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work - 70 - Real estate services ### Codes - 45000000 - Construction work - 70000000 - Real estate services ## Release History - 30 Mar 2022 at 16:17 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/325976fb-34e7-46fa-8433-1c107a262174 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/325976fb-34e7-46fa-8433-1c107a262174 30th March 2022 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - https://procontract.due-north.com ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
