The scope covers building installation and completion as well as repair and maintenance services. The programme is intended to inform future provision for the housing provider. Delivery is described as being in the United Kingdom, with the buying organisation based in Oldham. The work spans both planned investment and larger repair projects, alongside responsive repairs and voids services. Providers across these construction and property-maintenance areas may find the planned scope relevant. The process is at planning: First Choice Homes Oldham is conducting preliminary market engagement to shape its procurement strategy, and this is not an invitation to tender. The buyer expects to engage providers through meet-the-buyer events, requests for information and direct discussions. Responses to its questionnaire are due by 22 October 2026; further engagement may prioritise providers whose experience, operating model and services align with the areas being considered. The procurement is expected to use a framework agreement. Indicative estimates are £75 million for planned investment works, £15 million for major repairs and £10 for responsive repairs and voids. The proposed scope, values, lotting, term, extensions and timetable remain under development. The anticipated contract period is 1 June 2027 to 31 May 2031, with a possible extension to 31 May 2032; dates are indicative. The planned work is likely to suit providers with established capability in housing investment and building works, major property repairs, responsive maintenance and preparing vacant homes for occupation. Businesses focused on building installation, completion or ongoing repair and maintenance may be relevant, as may providers able to cover more than one of these service areas. The buyer says it will use market engagement to shape both the future service provision and tender process, with the aim of following good practice and making engagement and working with it attractive and accessible. It expects to prioritise further discussions with organisations whose experience, operating model and service offer best match the areas under consideration. Providers can therefore use the engagement to explain their delivery models and relevant experience as the future requirements take shape. ## Notice First Choice Homes Oldham is undertaking preliminary market engagement to inform the future procurement strategy for the delivery of planned investment works, major repairs, responsive repairs and voids services.
