Doncaster Council is seeking to appoint a contractor who can make their markets one of the best in the north of England. They wish to work with the contractors to establish the best fit for what the Council wishes to achieve. There has been recent capital investment into the markets of 7 300 000 GBP. Securing the best market management and retail leadership will place the retail quarter in the top attractions in the area. Ambitious, enthusiastic expertise and investment will ensure the markets are vibrant for generations to come. The citizens of Doncaster want to see the markets remain as a key focal point of the town and working towards implementing this is a priority. The markets across Doncaster are ready to flourish and a new approach is needed to ensure they have the best advantage in a highly competitive retail environment required to fully embrace changing customer shopping trends, as the traditional demographic moves on and potential new customers are presented. The following market assets are therefore within scope, all of which are currently delivered in-house by the Council: - Wool Market, - Corn Exchange, - International Food Hall, - Fish Market, - Goose Hill (Non-Food), - Lock Up Shops, - Outdoor Market, - Market hall and outer stalls at Mexborough The contractor will focus on local abundance and provenance, welcoming visitors warmly and offering a unique experience to the consumer, recreating the bustle of the cattle/farmers market and introducing elements to simplify and futureproof such as; modern payment methods, shop and drop services to support shoppers, click and collect, baskets to encourage browsing and innovative storage and delivery solutions. The markets will be strengthened in their position as being part of Doncaster's visitor attraction offer.
