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.
