The scheme is residential-led and mixed-use, and includes reinstating the canal. The Listed Port Mill and salt warehouse form part of the site’s setting. The council is leading delivery with Stroud Valleys Canal Company and Homes England. The requirement combines development and construction work with architectural, engineering and related professional services. It is suited to organisations able to take a development from partnership and planning through to delivery, bringing together the necessary construction and design expertise. The redevelopment is intended to bring the former port site back into use while restoring the canal.

The council invited offers through a competitive flexible, selective procedure, with an initial participation stage followed by dialogue; up to six candidates may progress.

The participation requirements include minimum company turnover and technical conditions; the procurement documents set out further detail. Standard payment terms apply.

This opportunity is aimed at developers able to act as a strategic partner and deliver a substantial, residential-led mixed-use regeneration scheme, including canal reinstatement, on a ten-acre site. Relevant strengths include managing complex development proposals, demonstrating commercial viability and risk control, and presenting a credible delivery programme.

Construction capability and access to architectural and engineering expertise are relevant to the combined scope. Applicants must meet the stated minimum turnover and technical participation conditions, with the procurement questionnaire providing the detailed thresholds and requirements. Organisations able to combine development, delivery and partnership expertise are best placed to compete.
