The Vale of Glamorgan Council is seeking to appoint a suitably qualified and experienced architectural practice to provide architectural, feasibility and design development services for the proposed redevelopment of the ground floor of the former Wilko store, 59–71 Holton Road, Barry, into a new indoor market. The commission will include review of the existing building and available survey information, feasibility and options appraisal, development and refinement of architectural concept designs, consideration of the building frontage and entrances, internal market layout, circulation, accessibility, customer and welfare facilities, servicing and back-of-house requirements, together with initial planning and statutory considerations.

The commission will also include consideration of improved access and connectivity to the upper floor and existing void area. The successful practice will be required to support stakeholder engagement, including preparation of emerging design material for a pre-Christmas 2026 design reveal, and subsequently 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.

Gwybodaeth Ychwanegol

This is a high-profile town centre regeneration project with significant stakeholder and public interest. The appointed Architect will be required to work to an accelerated programme, with appointment anticipated in early October 2026 and a key interim milestone being the preparation of emerging design proposals and presentation material for a pre-Christmas design reveal to Councillors and senior officers. The design will subsequently be refined, with the RIBA Stage 2 and funding-ready design package required by mid March 2027.

The Council intends to appoint a specialist Market/Interior Designer under a separate commission, and the successful Architect will be required to work collaboratively with this consultant and the wider project team throughout the commission. The Architect will retain responsibility for the overall architectural design and coordination, ensuring that specialist market stall design, customer experience, accessibility, servicing, placemaking and operational requirements are appropriately integrated into the building proposals.

Separate business planning and commercial viability work will also inform the emerging market proposition and operational requirements. The appointed Architect will therefore be expected to respond to relevant emerging findings as the design develops.

The primary focus of the commission is the ground floor indoor market. The scope also includes consideration of improved access and connectivity to the upper floor and potential interventions to the existing void area; however, detailed design of future upper-floor uses is not included at this stage.

Bidders should refer to the full specification/Quotation procurement Brief for the detailed scope of services, deliverables, programme, submission requirements and evaluation methodology.
