en.Wedoany.com Reported - Oldham Metropolitan Borough Council (OMBC) is planning to establish a minor engineering framework for road-related works, with an estimated total value of £20 million (excluding VAT), or £24 million including VAT.

The framework, named the "Active Oldham Strategic Partnership Agreement," will have a maximum duration of eight years and adopt an "open framework" model, allowing for multiple reopenings during the agreement period as specified in the invitation to tender. The council expects to appoint multiple companies across several lots, with specific details yet to be finalized.

The procurement approach may change as future procurement plans become clearer. The council reserves the right to modify the proposed procurement method at any time before the formal tender notice is issued. Therefore, the framework may be subject to the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, the Procurement Act 2023, or the Supplier Selection Regime, or it may be withdrawn entirely. Any modifications will be updated in this notice.

The proposed framework, currently in the pipeline notice stage, is expected to support a series of typical road improvement projects delivered under NEC4 Engineering and Construction Contracts. The framework will run from April 2027 to March 2031, with a possible extension of four years.

The council emphasizes that this opportunity is still subject to internal governance and approval, and no formal tender has been issued yet. Contractors are not required to respond at this stage.
