Summary of the contracting process

The Huddersfield Open Market Regeneration project, led by Kirklees Council, is an opportunity in the construction industry located in Yorkshire and the Humber, United Kingdom. The procurement process, which is at the award stage, involved an open procedure and aims to revitalise Huddersfield Market with an estimated contract value of £13 million. Funded through the Government’s Levelling Up Fund Round 3, the project is expected to commence on 1st April 2025. Pre-Construction Services will extend over an estimated eight-month period, with the main contract phase lasting up to 24 months and a target completion by the end of 2027. Originally scheduled to close on 27th January 2025, tender submissions were ultimately due by 3rd February 2025.

This regeneration project creates significant opportunities for construction firms looking to expand their portfolio, particularly those specialising in commercial redevelopment. With an open procurement method, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) were encouraged to participate, contributing to broad competition. The winning bidder, Willmott Dixon Construction Limited, exemplifies the type of large-scale organisations suited for this venture. However, the open approach ensured that businesses with substantial construction and project management capabilities could vie for the contract, potentially paving the way for future collaborations with Kirklees Council and similar large-scale public construction endeavours.
