## Summary

Gloucester City Council, a public authority within the sub-central government category, is responsible for the procurement of consultancy services for the refurbishment and development of the Greyfriars Quarter in Gloucester. The project aims to transform underperforming areas within the city centre into vibrant spaces, including converting Greyfriars’ Hall into a multi-use arts venue. The process is conducted under open competition, below threshold procurement. Recent updates reflect the award of a contract to KEW Property Consultants Limited with a gross value of £39,354, signed on 18th March 2026, with the contract set to end on 17th March 2028. The industry category primarily involves architectural, construction, engineering, and inspection services, with significant activities concentrated at the city centre location connecting to local heritage sites.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses in the architectural and urban planning sectors, particularly those skilled in managing multi-disciplinary teams to achieve planning consent. Given the open competition procurement method, businesses with expertise in coordination of planning strategies and submissions can benefit from competitive tendering, especially SMEs owing to the suitability criteria. KEW Property Consultants Limited, specialising as a town planner consultant, secured the contract, suggesting that firms with similar consultancy skills can thrive in refurbishment and planning projects requiring fixed-price submissions and alignment to planning conditions. The completion and management of various tenders and sub-contractor engagements throughout the contract duration encourage collaborative efforts across the UK's regions, further enhancing business growth prospects in these disciplines.
