Southern Gateway - Main Contractor
Authority: BRISTOL TEMPLE QUARTER LLP (Public body)
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionBTQ LLP requires a Main Contractor for its Bristol Temple Meads Southern Gateway Car Park project.
The Southern Gateway is a strategically significant infrastructure project forming a key component of the Bristol Temple Quarter (BTQ) regeneration programme-one of the largest city centre regeneration schemes in Europe. The Southern Gateway will deliver a new southern entrance to Bristol Temple Meads Station, enhancing connectivity, enabling sustainable transport modes, and unlocking development potential in the southern part of
the BTQ area.
The scheme is being delivered by BTQ LLP, a joint venture between Bristol City Council, Homes England, and the West of England Combined Authority. While Network Rail is not
a formal member of the LLP, it is considered a critical delivery partner due to its role in station infrastructure and operational integration.
The key elements of the proposed development comprise of the following:
A 7 storey multi-storey car park (MSCP) at the centre of the site, providing both car parking and motorcycle parking;
A 3 storey cycle pavilion at the north-west of site, providing a mixture of secure Sheffield stands and two-tier cycle parking;
The creation of a high quality public realm between the MSCP and cycle pavilion, with dwell spaces and areas for temporary pop up uses. As well as hard and soft landscaping and drainage;
A new walkway and entrance into Temple Meads Station
An improved fully segregated full width pedestrian footway and two-way cycleway adjacent to Bath Road which is intended to connect into future active travel improvements along this section of the highway; A cycle route to the cycle pavilion from the improved cycleway adjacent to Bath Road;
1no. new bus stop with waiting facilities and layby adjacent to Bath Road; A signal-controlled vehicular access junction to the MSCP from Bath Road;
A Network Rail service yard and a relocated RRAP adjacent to the proposed Network Rail service yard.
