What is being bought

Published requirement description

Kirklees Council (the "Council") is conducting a competitive procurement exercise in accordance with Section 19, the Competitive Procedure, under the Procurement Act 2023 for the provision of Design and Build for the redevelopment of Dewsbury Market and creation of the new Town Park.

Kirklees Council is seeking suitably experienced contractors to deliver the redevelopment of Dewsbury Market and creation of the new Town Park, a flagship element of the Dewsbury Town Centre Blueprint. This project is pivotal to restoring the town centre as a vibrant, inclusive, and sustainable destination.

The redevelopment has two main components:

- Refurbishment and reconfiguration of the Market Hall and Semi-Covered Market buildings into flexible, modern facilities that retain historic character.

- Transformation of the surrounding public realm into a multifunctional "Urban Park", providing high-quality civic space that improves accessibility, wellbeing, and biodiversity.

The outcome will be a revitalised civic hub that attracts residents, visitors, and businesses, integrates heritage with contemporary usage, and enhances the town's commercial and cultural offer.

The project will be a MHCLG funded scheme with a funding gap that will be made up via Kirklees Council Capital funding.
