Search starts for Commonwealth Games stadium contractor

A search is now underway for a contractor to deliver the 2022 Commonwealth games stadium.

The £63m contract will see Birmingham’s Alexander Stadium in Perry Park revamped, with around 20,000 seats retained after the event to create the country’s second largest athletics stadium.

The project will see capacity increased from 12,700 to 40,000.

The construction plan is to build a new main west stand and construct new north and south bowl seating areas.

The new stands will include temporary roof structures for the duration of the games and a 400m warm up track will also be developed.

Construction work due to start in 2020.

Birmingham City Council said: “Birmingham City Council is looking to appoint a main contractor for the main construction works for the development of the Alexander Stadium site necessary to host the Commonwealth Games 2022, and to achieve the legacy of a sustainable community sports facility.”

Prequalification questionnaires should be returned by 7 June, the council said.
