This contract focuses on developing a digital framework to facilitate the repurposing of existing buildings, contributing to high street regeneration and post-Covid recovery.

This feasibility study presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those engaged in urban planning and development consultancy services.

Companies capable of delivering innovative approaches to building analysis and repurposing strategies will find this tender particularly advantageous for expanding their market reach and influence in urban regeneration efforts.

## Notice

The WMCA believes that the repurposing of existing buildings also has the potential to contribute to the regeneration of high streets and city centres, helping to improve occupancy rates and accelerate post-Covid recovery. To accelerate the uptake of repurposing in the West Midlands, we are proposing the creation of a digital West Midlands Repurposing Framework to assist Local Authorities, and the private and third sectors, in approaching the repurposing of buildings. This would include: - Clear definitions of "repurposing" and associated terminology - An outline of the financial, social, and environmental benefits of the approach - Guidance on the assessment of building viability for repurposing (e.g. data requirements etc) - Guidance on how to approach the repurposing of buildings This contract is for the delivery of a feasibility study for the proposal, leading to the production of a West Midlands Repurposing framework.
