The market, located at 1 Princes Pavement Grange Precinct, Birkenhead, falls under the real estate services industry category and is part of the broader services procurement category. The procurement is in the planning stage, and interested parties are invited to respond to a questionnaire by 9th December 2024 at Noon. This engagement will inform the delivery strategy for the market, with refurbishment and fit-out works scheduled to begin in May 2025. Key contact for this procurement is Mr Dan Cheetham from Wirral Borough Council, reachable via email at dancheetham@wirral.gov.uk. This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses involved in real estate services, market operations, and commercial development. By participating in this preliminary engagement phase, businesses can position themselves as key players in the renovation and subsequent operation of the new Birkenhead Market. The project aims to revitalize the market space, attract new traders, and enhance the commercial appeal of Birkenhead Town Centre, thus providing ample growth opportunities for companies specializing in market refurbishments, management services, and entrepreneurial ventures. ## Notice Wirral Council are currently developing a new Market to be relocated at 1 Princes Pavement Grange Precinct, Birkenhead. The new market will replace the current Market at Perimeter Stalls, Grange Precinct which has become tired, costly to operate and requires a major transformation to make it more appealing and fit for modern market trading conditions. The aim is to inject new trading opportunities and entrepreneurs into Birkenhead Town Centre. Design development for the market is ongoing with refurbishment and fit out works scheduled to start on site in May 2025. This will transform the building into a new Market that correlates with the success of other markets across the UK, providing an offer that reflects changes in the high street, aspiring to bring market traders both new and current together within one place and with the aim of bringing vitality back to Birkenhead. Wirral Council are now keen to explore options for the future operation of the newly developed Birkenhead Market in the Town Centre and are undertaking this preliminary market engagement to consult with the market to inform a delivery strategy. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Wirral Council are undertaking this preliminary market engagement to consult with the market to inform a delivery strategy.
