SEAM Digital Campus, S70 2JW
The Seam is Barnsley’s Digital Campus, a new district that will bring together people,
business, education, research, and place. The vision for The Seam is to establish an
inclusive, digital innovation campus built around the activity already happening in the DMC buildings, Barnsley College’s new business Centre. It will be at the heart of a connected tech eco- system that will foster innovation and experimentation for the benefit of everyone.
The Seam is intended to play a key role in supporting entrepreneurial spirit and enabling the growth of digital industries in a ‘Smart City’ campus environment.
Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council (the Council) is looking to appoint a Developer to
bring forward Plot 1 and 2 of the SEAM Phase 1 campus development for residential
accommodation, who can help to bring to life the vision for the Seam Digital Campus in the heart of Barnsley Town centre.
The appointed Developer may also be required to bring forward additional plots
which have been identified in the Blueprint as being for residential development as part of
future phases of the SEAM development, subject to performance and demand. The Blueprint can be found in the Stage One procurement documents.
The estimated overall contract value is between £18 million and £49 million based on the estimated gross development value (GDV) of Plot 1 and 2 (The main focus of this initial agreement) and the sum of the estimated GDV for additional plots identified in the Blueprint for residential development 3, 6b and 7, which at this stage are not guaranteed.
This is based on an estimated GDV for Plot 1 and 2 of between £18 million and £30 million dependant on the development mix proposed.
