The Bristol Temple Quarter LLP (BTQ LLP), the partnership behind the Bristol Temple Quarter regeneration programme, is seeking a main contractor to deliver a new multi-storey car park, cycle pavilion, bus stops and associated public realm at Bristol Temple Meads railway station.
BTQ LLP is initially procuring pre-construction services under a Pre-Construction Services Agreement (PCSA), with the aim to enter a full construction works contract in July 2026.
The Invitation to Tender is now open until 8 December. The procurement timeline is:
- Tender response deadline – 8 December 25
- Bidder presentations – 8 and 9 January
- Contract award notice – 16 January
The Southern Gateway will play a key role in enabling the delivery of new homes, commercial development, and public spaces at Bristol Temple Quarter by relocating regulated station parking into a single location.
The land around Bristol Temple Meads station is currently dominated by car parking, creating a poor experience for people arriving in the city. Much of this parking is regulated for rail staff and passengers. By relocating the parking, the space to the north of station at the Friary, Station Approach, and in the Grade I listed Midland Shed can be transformed with new development, public spaces, and travel routes.

A planning application was submitted for the Southern Gateway in July 2025. The planning reference is 25/13135/F and the application can be found on the Planning Portal.
