Tender description

Oldham is entering a significant period of growth and transformation, with major investment across regeneration, housing, sport, health, education, culture, environment and the economy. We now need a single borough-wide proposition that brings this activity together and gives Oldham a clear, distinctive position within Greater Manchester. The ambition is to position Oldham as Greater Manchester's Green Growth Borough and one of the strongest propositions in the region for investment, development, talent and future growth. The proposition needs to work for both investors and residents: showing the scale of opportunity while creating pride and optimism about Oldham's future. A written response required, outlining concept ideas, then if successful following up with face-to-face pitches. Dates estimated @ w/c 26 October Keywords: Marketing

About the buyer

Oldham Metropolitan Borough Council is the local authority for the Oldham metropolitan borough, advertising contracts through The Chest procurement portal. Larger tenders also appear on the government's Find a Tender service. Procurements follow the Procurement Act 2023, using open or competitive flexible procedures. Contracts below threshold follow a lighter regulatory regime. Many tenders carry social value requirements covering employment, environment and community wellbeing. Healthcare-related procurements follow the NHS Provider Selection Regime where it applies. Invoices need a valid purchase order under the council's no purchase order, no pay policy.

UK local government drives £140bn in annual procurement, led by social protection (£66.6bn) and education (£57.1bn).

Over the past 5 years, most of Oldham Metropolitan Borough Council's contract awards have been in health and social work, construction work and software and information systems.
