Summary of the contracting process

Walsall Council has awarded the contract for a feasibility study regarding the redevelopment of Bloxwich Theatre into a multi-function creative space. The buyer, Walsall Council e-Tendering, aims to refurbish and repurpose the underused venue to benefit audiences, creative businesses, communities, and schools. The project is part of the larger Bloxwich Town Plan funded by £21M and includes proximity to the Bloxwich Launchpad, which supports digital access and incubation. The awarded stage commenced on 6th September 2024 and ends on 31st December 2024. The procurement method was an open procedure, focusing on services in business and management consultancy, architectural and surveying services.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses in the architectural, surveying, management consultancy, and related services sectors. Companies specialising in urban development and place-shaping projects will find this tender particularly attractive, as it not only involves upgrading a theatre but also contributes to the wider economic revitalisation of the Bloxwich area. The redeveloped space is expected to attract artists, community groups, and SMEs, fostering a vibrant creative enterprise quarter. This initiative can drive business growth by creating jobs, developing skills, and expanding both daytime and night-time economies in the locality.

Notice Title

WP4025 - Bloxwich Theatre Redevelopment Feasibility Study - AWARD

Notice Description

Walsall Council is seeking a high-quality provider to assess the feasibility of redeveloping Bloxwich Theatre into a multi-function creative space. Whilst still enabling the building to be used as a theatre, the Council seeks to refurbish and repurpose the underused venue into a valuable utilized space for audiences, creative businesses, communities, and schools alike. Bloxwich is a deprived area with low rates of skills and workforce mobility, and over 80% of neighbourhoods in the top 20% most deprived. Work is already happening in the area as part of Bloxwich Town Plan backed by PS21M Town's Funding to revive the town centre, including the development of the Bloxwich Launchpad, a digital access and incubation centre, which is adjacent to the Theatre. Re-development of the theatre is as much a place shaping project supporting the future of the town centre as it is a venue upgrade. Proximity to the Bloxwich Launchpad anchors the project in a wider offer, supports the development of daytime/night-time economies, develops skills, and creates jobs. It will turn this under-utilised corner of Bloxwich into a thriving, creative enterprise quarter supporting artists, community groups & SMEs.
