## Summary

The procurement process involves First Choice Homes Oldham, which is seeking to establish a consultant framework agreement titled "FCHO Consultant Framework Agreement". This initiative falls under the architectural and related services category, specifically aimed at delivering a minimum of 800 housing units within the Borough of Oldham by 2020. The tender is currently in the active stage, with the submission deadline set for 8th October 2018. The contract period is anticipated to commence on 30th November 2018 and extend until 31st October 2022, catering primarily to the North West region of the United Kingdom.

This tender presents an opportunity for architectural and consultancy firms, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), to engage in a significant development programme that includes a variety of property types and tenures. Companies with expertise in navigating challenging site conditions and those experienced in multi-tenure developments would be particularly well-suited to compete. Successful bidders will not only contribute to the local housing supply but can also expect to establish long-term collaborations with First Choice Homes Oldham for ongoing and future projects.

## 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.
