## Summary

Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council is currently in the planning stage for a procurement process related to the appointment of a Development Management Organisation for "The Seam Phase 2.1" project. This initiative focuses on complex, mixed-use regeneration programmes including hotel development. Located in Barnsley, South Yorkshire, the procurement falls within the industry categories of hotel, restaurant, retail trade services, and construction work for leisure-related buildings. A preliminary market engagement notice was published on 12th February 2026, and stakeholders are invited to engage by 30th March 2026. Future tender notices are expected by 30th April 2026.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses with expertise in business and management consultancy, hotel services, construction, and retail trade services. The Council aims to understand the market's capacity to deliver on the regeneration project's ambitious objectives, particularly emphasising hotel development and related services. This contract, valued at up to £600,000, is above the threshold, providing a significant growth opportunity for businesses in the mentioned sectors to demonstrate their capabilities in complex project management and service delivery. Companies skilled in various aspects of hospitality, consultancy, and construction within the UK will be well-suited to compete effectively as potential partners in this strategic development.

## Notice

For the avoidance of doubt - this is a pre-market engagement exercise in order to gather information from the supply market. This stage is not a tendering exercise. The Council intends to undertake a procurement exercise for a Development Management Organisation (DMO) with proven expertise in complex, mixed use regeneration programmes which includes hotel development. To inform this process, the Council is carrying out a premarket engagement exercise to understand the capability of the supply market and to seek feedback that will shape the subsequent procurement approach.
