## Summary

Sheffield City Council is seeking a Principal Contractor for the design and construction of the Heart of the City II - Block A project, which encompasses a hotel and the refurbishment of the Gaumont building in Sheffield, United Kingdom. The project is classified under construction work (CPV code 45000000) and is currently in the Award stage, following a selective procurement method with a restricted procedure. The total contract value is approximately £34.8 million, and the contract was signed on 22 April 2021. Key components include an upper mid-scale Radisson Blu hotel with 156 rooms and a premium mixed leisure complex, adhering to sustainability standards aimed at net-zero carbon construction.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for construction firms, particularly those with expertise in design and build contracts, hospitality projects, and refurbishments. Businesses that specialise in sustainable building practices and have experience in delivering projects compliant with JCT Design and Build contracts will find themselves well-positioned to compete. Additionally, companies involved in restaurant and food services, as well as those experienced with historical building preservation, will benefit from the mixed-use nature of the development.

## Notice
