## Summary

Oldham Metropolitan Borough Council is planning a procurement process for the "Highways Heavy Plant Hire (including with driver)" project, which falls under the works industry category and targets the UKD3 region within the United Kingdom. This initiative is currently at the planning stage, as indicated by the pipeline notice published on 22 May 2025, with a forthcoming notice date scheduled for 1 August 2025.
