In plain English
Oldham Metropolitan Borough Council wants a contractor to carry out reactive repair and maintenance on its buildings, schools, park land and other sites across the borough. The work covers many trades for minor jobs, and the council expects a quick response: at least a one-hour response time, with repairs completed within up to 28 days depending on the job. The estimated total value is £5 million.
What the buyer wants
• Respond to reactive repair requests within agreed service levels, starting from a minimum of one hour and completing repairs within up to 28 days. • Deliver minor building works across multiple disciplines in council offices, schools, parks and other council infrastructure. • Provide reliable reporting, service-level performance data and a contact route for urgent call-outs.
Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
The scale of a £5 million multi-trade contract, the requirement for a one-hour response time across a wide area, and the need to show financial strength and sufficient turnover would likely rule out most small businesses.
How to bid
This is an open tender: any eligible business can respond directly to the buyer by the deadline, with no framework membership needed.
