With thanks to Henry Boot Construction, CIOB have the unique opportunity to visit the £36m redevelopment of Rotherham Markets and an adjacent new library, which forms a key part of the wider town centre masterplan. The project comprises a major refurbishment and redevelopment of the existing indoor and outdoor Rotherham Markets. This will include creating a vibrant new food hall and dining area on the first level above the existing ground floor retail, in addition to new workspace for charities, social enterprises and voluntary groups on the second floor.
While the refurbished adjoining outdoor market will continue to be used predominantly as a market for local traders, it will also be redeveloped for use as a multi-functional space to host exhibitions and community events. A new library will also be built to offer a café, meeting rooms and flexible gallery space.
As part of their objective to make a positive impact in the region, Henry Boot Construction are delivering significant social value, employing local subcontractors, creating jobs and delivering training initiatives during construction.
The contract was procured and awarded through the Crown Commercial Services’ (CCS) Construction Works and Associated Services framework.
