Winning council contracts
I am often asked how do you do business with Oldham Council or become one of its suppliers, below is some information on just that.
Check out the step-by-step guide below to help you get started.
Register for opportunities:
You need to register on the procurement portal ‘The Chest’ to access all opportunities and contracts.
There are opportunities from Oldham Council, and lots of other councils too.
You can register at The Chest website.
You can have a look at live tenders without registering but it is worth registering because once you’re set up you can select the types of work you want to win and the geographical areas where you can supply your goods and services. You’ll then automatically get an email when new opportunities that match your preferences go live.

Contracts finder:
You can also use the government’s Contracts Finder service to search for opportunities.
This will generally direct you back towards The Chest for Oldham Council opportunities, but it’s worth keeping an eye on as there are many other public sector contracts that you may also be interested in.
Visit the Contracts Finder webpage.
High-Value Contracts:
You can search for high-value contracts via the government’s Find a Tender service.
There are a number of local opportunities live at the minute, so have a look at the Find Tender website.
Become part of the supply chain:
The Council has large regeneration schemes planned and in progress across the borough. These are being delivered by council partners and there will be opportunities to become part of their supply chain. These include Muse, Willmott Dixon, and Tilbury Douglas.
To register your interest in working with our partners please email invest@oldham.gov.uk with some more information about your business and your contact details.
We’ll keep hold of your information so we can let you know about any future procurement opportunities and events with these organisations.
