We are inviting tenders from relevant specialists to provide Project Manager & Quantity Surveyor services for the ‘Save Jacobs Wells Baths Capital Project’.

The team will be integral to delivering Phase 1 of a 2 phased project to repair and reopen Jacobs Wells, a Grade II Listed Building in Hotwells. Phase 1 will include the main hall and South Wing access as well as urgent works to the roof generally and in the North Wing .It is anticipated that this phase will bring the greater part of the building back into beneficial reuse and result in a financially sustainable operation, whilst Phase 2 will bring all the remaining areas back into use and enhance overall sustainability and viability.

Built in 1889 to serve the working poor, Jacobs Wells in the Clifton & Hotwells Conservation Area is a building that holds within its walls a wealth of architectural and social heritage - from its time as a public swimming bath to its 30-year history as a dance hub. Sadly, the building’s future came under threat in December 2022, when plans to reinstate an indoor pool and convert into a leisure facility fell through.

Following an appeal to secure the future of building, backed by community stakeholders and Bristol City Council we have to date, secured over £1.4million from the DLUHC Community Ownership Fund (COF), John James Foundation, Bristol-based Nisbet Trust and match funders to bring the building back into beneficial public use.
