Barnsley MBC (the Council) is seeking to appoint a development management organisation inclusive of design team professionals to deliver the retail and leisure aspect of a major town centre regeneration scheme with associated mixed uses. In July 2014 a 'Better Barnsley' Town Centre prospectus was launched for consultation that set out the Council's objectives for the Town Centre. The prospectus set out a new vision for the town centre which now included civic amenities such as the new library, a more prominent market and a new square complemented by a series of development platforms that could be used to accommodate new leisure and retail activity.

The Council is now seeking to appoint a development management organisation to further its vision for key retail and leisure facilities as part of the Better Barnsley scheme. The development management organisation will work with the Council to develop the retail and leisure part of the scheme to a point where the risk and potential return is much clearer and acceptable, triggering an approach to the market to fund delivery of the scheme.
