Summary: Gloucester City Council is seeking construction work to repurpose and regenerate the Greyfriars site at the Eastgate Shopping Centre and Food Court in Gloucester. The project will create a market and food court as part of a wider cultural hub. The existing building has been stripped out; the work must address the constraints of an existing structure, including potentially unknown service runs, hazardous materials and structural issues. The scope also includes integrating fire-safety measures and sustainability improvements, such as rooftop solar panels, better thermal performance, LED lighting and efficient mechanical, electrical and plumbing services.
