Summary of the contracting process

Wolverhampton City Council is procuring an independent client adviser for a hotel-led, mixed-use regeneration scheme at the Council-owned Broad Street car park site in Wolverhampton. The adviser will provide expert, impartial support to refine the Council’s objectives and requirements and identify suitable ways to deliver the scheme. The work covers option appraisal, strategy development, engagement with the market and procurement support through to completion of the deal. The proposed development centres on a hotel, with complementary uses forming part of the wider mixed-use scheme. This is a professional services opportunity in property development and regeneration advisory work, classified under development services of real estate.

The process has reached tender: the Council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. It is a single-lot procurement with an estimated value of £60,000 excluding VAT, or £72,000 including VAT. The contract is scheduled to run from 19 October 2026 to 18 April 2027, with an optional extension available if required, up to 18 October 2027. Enquiries must be submitted by 28 August 2026 at 23:59, and tender responses by 4 September 2026 at 12:00. Electronic submission is allowed through www.wolverhamptontenders.com. Responses will be evaluated on 70% quality and 30% price, using the award criteria and scoring mechanism in the invitation to tender.

This opportunity suits property, regeneration and development consultancies able to provide genuinely independent client-side advice on a complex, market-facing scheme. Relevant capability includes testing and comparing development options, shaping strategic objectives and requirements, engaging potential market participants, advising on delivery routes and supporting a public procurement through to deal completion. Experience of hotel-led or mixed-use regeneration, property development strategy and working with public-sector clients would be directly relevant. The adviser must act impartially and solely in Wolverhampton City Council’s interests, rather than representing a development partner or supplier. The requirement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it accessible to specialist firms with the necessary advisory expertise and capacity.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Hotel Led Mixed Use Development - Independent Client Advisor

Notice Description

City of Wolverhampton Council (CWC) is seeking to appoint an Independent Client Advisor to provide expert, impartial advice to support the Council in bringing forward a hotel-led regeneration scheme. The Advisor will act solely in the interests of CWC and will support the project through optioneering, strategy development, market interface, and procurement towards deal completion. CWC is exploring options for bringing forward a hotel-led, mixed-use regeneration scheme on the CWC owned Broad Street car park site. Early work has identified potential for a hotel component, supported by complementary uses, but CWC now requires independent expert support to refine its objectives and requirements and to map out appropriate delivery routes, which are market facing.
