Tender: Architectural Services for Redevelopment of Former Wilko Store (59–71 Holton Road, Barry) into Indoor Market

About

The Vale of Glamorgan Council is seeking a suitably qualified and experienced architectural practice to provide architectural, feasibility and design development services to redevelop the ground floor of the former Wilko store at 59–71 Holton Road, Barry, into a new indoor market. The commission includes review of the existing building and available survey information, feasibility and options appraisal, development and refinement of architectural concept designs, consideration of building frontage and entrances, internal market layout, circulation, accessibility, customer and welfare facilities, servicing and back-of-house requirements, and initial planning and statutory considerations. The appointed architect will be required to work collaboratively with a separately appointed specialist Market Designer to ensure market stall design, trader requirements, customer experience and placemaking are integrated into the architectural proposals, consider improved access and connectivity to the upper floor and existing void area, support stakeholder engagement including preparation of emerging design material for a pre-Christmas 2026 design reveal, and develop the proposals into a coordinated, funding-ready design package including RIBA Stage 2 concept design information, visualisations, outline planning information and supporting material for business case and external funding applications.
