Summary of the contracting process

The Council of the Borough of Kirklees recently decided to terminate its procurement exercise for the redevelopment of Dewsbury Market and the creation of the new Town Park, a significant project within the Dewsbury Town Centre Blueprint. The decision was recorded in a tender cancellation notice published on 7th November 2025. Previously, the procurement process had reached the award stage, with the tender originally announced under the competitive flexible procedure scheduled to run from April 2026 to October 2027. Although the original tender process has been completed, Kirklees Council plans to review their approach before initiating a new procurement exercise for this development, intended to revitalise Dewsbury as a vibrant urban area within the UKE44 region.

This project offers substantial opportunities for businesses involved in site preparation and construction work, particularly those with experience handling large-scale urban redevelopment projects. SMEs are encouraged to compete, as the procurement process accommodates smaller enterprises. Construction firms capable of delivering high-quality civic spaces that integrate historic preservation with modern functionality would be well-suited for this opportunity. Companies specializing in market construction, refurbishment, and urban planning can benefit from the anticipated future tender, which aims to enhance the town's economic and cultural offerings, incorporating elements such as improved accessibility, public parks, and updated market facilities.
