## Summary

Gloucester City Council is seeking an Employer's Agent for the Greyfriars Project, centred around Gloucester's Eastgate Shopping Centre and Market Hall. The procurement is at the tender stage, with submission closing on 5th August 2026. The appointment is slated for September 2026 until April 2028, encompassing RIBA Stages 3-6. This open competition falls within the "Construction-related services" category under a "Below threshold" procurement method. The project is backed by £11 million, combining Levelling Up Fund and council contributions, with a focus on the Cultural Hub's ER works estimated between £6 to £7 million. The lead design team comprises Featherstone Young Architects and DCA Associates, and the contractual arrangements will follow the JCT 2024 Suite for design and build or major works as applicable.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in construction-related services, particularly those experienced in managing large-scale cultural projects within historic and community-focused settings. With a total project fund of approximately £11 million and a contract value of £125,000, companies with expertise in working with public authorities, subcontracting in multi-stakeholder environments, and leveraging public sector frameworks such as the JCT Suite will find themselves well-positioned to compete.
