The buyer, Walsall Council e-Tendering, aims to refurbish and repurpose the underused venue to benefit audiences, creative businesses, communities, and schools. The project is part of the larger Bloxwich Town Plan funded by £21M and includes proximity to the Bloxwich Launchpad, which supports digital access and incubation. The awarded stage commenced on 6th September 2024 and ends on 31st December 2024. The procurement method was an open procedure, focusing on services in business and management consultancy, architectural and surveying services. This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses in the architectural, surveying, management consultancy, and related services sectors. Companies specialising in urban development and place-shaping projects will find this tender particularly attractive, as it not only involves upgrading a theatre but also contributes to the wider economic revitalisation of the Bloxwich area. The redeveloped space is expected to attract artists, community groups, and SMEs, fostering a vibrant creative enterprise quarter. This initiative can drive business growth by creating jobs, developing skills, and expanding both daytime and night-time economies in the locality. ## Notice Walsall Council is seeking a high-quality provider to assess the feasibility of redeveloping Bloxwich Theatre into a multi-function creative space. Whilst still enabling the building to be used as a theatre, the Council seeks to refurbish and repurpose the underused venue into a valuable utilized space for audiences, creative businesses, communities, and schools alike. Bloxwich is a deprived area with low rates of skills and workforce mobility, and over 80% of neighbourhoods in the top 20% most deprived. Work is already happening in the area as part of Bloxwich Town Plan backed by PS21M Town's Funding to revive the town centre, including the development of the Bloxwich Launchpad, a digital access and incubation centre, which is adjacent to the Theatre. Re-development of the theatre is as much a place shaping project supporting the future of the town centre as it is a venue upgrade. Proximity to the Bloxwich Launchpad anchors the project in a wider offer, supports the development of daytime/night-time economies, develops skills, and creates jobs. It will turn this under-utilised corner of Bloxwich into a thriving, creative enterprise quarter supporting artists, community groups & SMEs. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9d252f05-ff69-443b-8b1a-6a9d3ebaa017 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 22 Oct 2024 | | Submission deadline | 12 Aug 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 3 Sep 2024 | | Contract period | 5 Sep 2024 - 31 Dec 2024 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | IN-TEND LIMITED | | Additional buyers | WALSALL COUNCIL E-TENDERING | | Locality | WEST MIDLANDS | | Post town | Walsall | | Postcode | WS1 1TP | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLG West Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLG3 West Midlands | | ITL 3 | TLG38 Walsall | | Local authority | Walsall | | Electoral ward | St Matthew's | | Westminster constituency | Walsall and Bloxwich | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 12 | | Supplier names | BOND BRYAN ARCHITECTS; CHRIS BLANDFORD ASSOCIATES; COLLIERS INTERNATIONAL PROPERTY ADVISERS; COUNTERCULTURE PARTNERSHIP; CPMG ARCHITECTS; DCA CONSULTANCY; GLENN HOWELLS ARCHITECTS; LOCALITY; PARTNERING REGENERATION DEVELOPMENT; PULSE ASSOCIATES; REALITY PRODUCTIONS; USHERBY | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 71250000 - Architectural, engineering and surveying services - 71251000 - Architectural and building-surveying services - 79000000 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security - 79400000 - Business and management consultancy and related services - 79410000 - Business and management consultancy services ## Release History - 22 Oct 2024 at 14:17 - AwardUpdate - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9d252f05-ff69-443b-8b1a-6a9d3ebaa017 - 1 Oct 2024 at 16:16 - AwardUpdate - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9d252f05-ff69-443b-8b1a-6a9d3ebaa017 - 6 Sep 2024 at 08:01 - AwardUpdate - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9d252f05-ff69-443b-8b1a-6a9d3ebaa017 - 6 Sep 2024 at 08:01 - AwardUpdate - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9d252f05-ff69-443b-8b1a-6a9d3ebaa017 - 6 Sep 2024 at 08:01 - AwardUpdate - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9d252f05-ff69-443b-8b1a-6a9d3ebaa017 - 4 Sep 2024 at 15:40 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9d252f05-ff69-443b-8b1a-6a9d3ebaa017 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9d252f05-ff69-443b-8b1a-6a9d3ebaa017 1st October 2024 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - https://www.walsall.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
