This procurement, under the public authority's sub-central government classification, is in the planning update stage. The initiative aims to execute a series of highway improvement and public realm projects in Oldham Town Centre as part of a broader strategy to enhance accessibility and connectivity via various transport modes. The project is categorised under the construction work industry with an estimated gross value of £24,000,000. The procurement is being managed through an open procedure, with electronic submissions accepted in English. Key dates include the end of the tender period on 6th November 2026, with the award period concluding by 1st March 2027. This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in construction, infrastructure development, and urban planning, particularly those capable of delivering high-specification civil engineering projects. The procurement process favours companies that can provide both qualitative excellence and social value alongside competitive pricing. The framework agreement allows up to two participants, encouraging collaborations between the council and suppliers to optimise delivery and foster continuous improvement. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are considered suitable bidders, creating avenues for smaller firms to engage with large-scale public works, potentially fostering growth and increased market presence within the region. ## Notice Oldham Council (the Council) has a strategy to deliver a series of highway improvement and high specification public realm projects in and around Oldham Town Centre. Active Oldham is a package of measures to transform the accessibility and connectivity to and around Oldham Town Centre by all modes as part of an ambitious vision and development strategy for investment in the Town Centre. The Active Oldham Strategic Partnership Agreement (AOSPA) is intended to promote a partnering and collaborative approach to delivering a programme of construction works and create a strategic environment where Supplier and the Council (as Employer) work together to optimise delivery by learning and working together and continually improving the services. The AOSPA term is for a maximum of 4 years. There is a programme of several projects planned initially. The final number of projects to be delivered through the AOSPA may increase and vary depending on the level of future external funding available to the Council and the success of the partnership between the Council and Supplier. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/065282-2026 | | Notice type | UK3 - Planned Procurement Notice | | Procurement type | Framework | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 10 Jul 2026 | | Submission deadline | 6 Nov 2026 | | Future notice date | 14 Sep 2026 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 2 May 2027 - 2 May 2031 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £20,000,000 | | Lots value | £20,000,000 | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Planned | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | OLDHAM METROPOLITAN BOROUGH COUNCIL | | Locality | OLDHAM | | Post town | Oldham | | Postcode | OL1 1HD | | 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 | TLD3 Greater Manchester, TLD37 Greater Manchester North East | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45000000 - Construction work ## Release History - 10 Jul 2026 at 14:29 - PlanningUpdate - UK3 - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/065282-2026 - 10 Jul 2026 at 14:11 - Planning - UK3 - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/065266-2026 - 26 May 2026 at 08:20 - PlanningUpdate - UK1 - Pipeline Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/048414-2026 - 26 May 2026 at 08:05 - Planning - UK1 - Pipeline Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/048398-2026 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/065282-2026 10th July 2026 - Planned procurement notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/065266-2026 10th July 2026 - Planned procurement notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/048414-2026 26th May 2026 - Pipeline notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/048398-2026 26th May 2026 - Pipeline notice on Find a Tender ## Notice URLs - https://procontract.due-north.com/SupplierRegistration/Register - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
