This project, classified under the construction industry category, is currently in the planning stage and has an estimated value of £65 million. Located in Huddersfield, United Kingdom, this ambitious regeneration scheme encompasses a site of approximately 7.8 acres, incorporating essential facilities such as a 2,200 capacity venue and a new multi-storey car park. A Buyers Day is scheduled for 22nd April 2022, where interested main contractors will have the opportunity to learn more and engage with the project team. This tender presents a robust opportunity for growth, particularly for construction firms specialising in urban development and regeneration projects. Businesses with experience in large-scale construction and a collaborative approach to project delivery would be well-suited to compete for one of the two main contractor positions available. Given the scale of the developments planned for both Zone 1 and Zone 2, firms capable of managing complex builds while working closely with local authorities will find themselves in a favourable position to secure contracts that can significantly enhance their portfolios. ## Notice Introduction The Cultural Heart programme is part of Kirklees Council's Blueprint for Huddersfield Town Centre. Cultural Heart proposes to create a vibrant culture, art, leisure and nightlife, thriving businesses, a great place to live, improved access and enhanced public spaces. The Cultural Heart is a key Council led regeneration scheme in Huddersfield Town Centre. The overall site area is approx. 7.8 acres and consists of a Multi-Storey Car Park, the Queensgate Market (Grade II listed), the Library and Art Gallery (Grade II listed) and the Piazza shopping centre. In addition to the buildings, there is an extensive network of tunnels servicing the Piazza shopping centre and Queensgate Market. The scope of the regeneration programme is to redevelop the area in its entirety to provide the following core facilities: Zone 1: * Venue (2,200 capacity) * New Multi-Storey Car Park The above list will be predominantly new build construction. Objectives The Cultural Heart will act as a cultural hub for the town where families, visitors and residents can gather and enjoy leisure, arts and music, with activities spilling out into a high-quality public space. Crucially, this will bring new people into the town centre. Main Contractor Procurement To deliver this ambitious development Kirklees Council are looking to appoint up to two main contractors, one for Zone 1 (circa PS65m construction cost) and one for Zone 2 (circa PS100m construction cost). These contractors should have the capability, capacity, and culture to work with the Council and the programme team on this specialist programme.
