## Summary

Kirklees Council has completed the award of the "Our Cultural Heart Phase 2 - Main Works Contract," which falls under the Construction work category. This phase involves the construction of a museum and gallery, as well as the demolition of the Piazza Shopping Centre in Yorkshire and the Humber, United Kingdom. The procurement process was conducted using a selective method through a call-off from the CCS (now GCA) Framework RM6088, Lot 4.1 for Construction Works and Associated Services, with a contract value between £30m and £80m. The award stage was finalised on 24th April 2026, and the contract period runs from 7th May 2026 to 20th October 2028.

This procurement presents substantial opportunities for businesses within the construction sector, particularly those capable of handling large-scale projects. Although the contract was awarded to BAM Building and Infrastructure, businesses with expertise in similar high-value infrastructure projects should consider maintaining partnerships for future opportunities. Large corporations would be well-suited for similar tenders facilitated by framework agreements, given the intricate requirements and scalability such contracts demand.
