Active Oldham Strategic Partnership Agreement (AOSPA)

What the buyer is asking for

Oldham Council (the Council) has a strategy to deliver a series of highway improvement and high specification public realm projects in and around Oldham Town Centre. Active Oldham is a package of measures to transform the accessibility and connectivity to and around Oldham Town Centre by all modes as part of an ambitious vision and development strategy for investment in the Town Centre. The Active Oldham Strategic Partnership Agreement (AOSPA) is intended to promote a partnering and collaborative approach to delivering a programme of construction works and create a strategic environment where Supplier and the Council (as Employer) work together to optimise delivery by learning and working together and continually improving the services. The AOSPA term is for a maximum of 4 years. There is a programme of several projects planned initially. The final number of projects to be delivered through the AOSPA may increase and vary depending on the level of future external funding available to the Council and the success of the partnership between the Council and Supplier.
