Summary of the contracting process

Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council is procuring specialist, integrated client-side development management services for The Seam Phase 2 programme. The appointed Development Management Organisation will support the planning, coordination and delivery of three linked project elements: a hotel development, Campus Square public realm, and the National Centre for Digital Technology. This is a professional development management and business consultancy requirement, with related construction, hotel, leisure, conference, restaurant and retail interfaces. Delivery is in the United Kingdom, with Barnsley identified as the buying authority. The opportunity concerns managing and coordinating development activity rather than directly supplying hotel accommodation, construction works, catering, retail services or digital technology.

The process has reached tender: the council invited offers through an open procedure. It is a single-lot procurement. The deadline for enquiries was 14 August 2026 at 11:00, and the deadline for tender submissions is 11 September 2026 at 11:00. Evaluation was due to conclude by 26 October 2026. The contract is scheduled to run from 16 November 2026 to 15 November 2028, with a maximum extension date of 15 November 2030 and two optional 12-month extensions. Its estimated value is £500,000 excluding VAT (£600,000 including VAT). Tenders are evaluated on quality at 60%, price at 35% and social value at 5%. Electronic submission is allowed in English.

This opportunity suits an experienced development management organisation or consultancy able to act on the client side across complex, multi-element regeneration or development programmes. Strong capability is needed in planning, development coordination and delivery management, with the capacity to integrate workstreams involving a hotel, public realm and a national digital technology facility. Suppliers should be able to manage interfaces with construction, leisure, hospitality, conference, restaurant, retail and technology stakeholders, and provide specialist advice throughout the programme. The requirement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so it may also suit a capable specialist consultancy or an SME-led consortium with the breadth to coordinate the required disciplines and delivery partners.
