The firm was selected by Tamworth Borough Council.
The construction firm will now work alongside the Council to deliver the plans for the government funded Future High Streets project.
The next stage of the project will see a detailed costed work programme developed to deliver:
• A new Enterprise Centre in the original 19th Century former Co-operative building on Colehill.
• The Middle Entry renovations which will see the walkway roof removed and some vacant units demolished to be replaced by a new flexible, multi-use building for independent small businesses.

• Restoration and refurbishment of the late 18th century former Peel Café, bringing a historic building back into use in a way that enhances its original Georgian features.
• Restoration and refurbishment of the historic vacant properties on Market Street and creating a wider footbridge into the castle grounds.
• Public realm works that will link all the projects together.
Tamworth was awarded £21.65 million from the Future High Streets Fund to transform the town centre into the busy, thriving heart of the community.
South Staffordshire College is also building a new college facility replacing the 1960s part of the Co-operative Building, which delivers a combined investment of over £40million in Tamworth town centre.
Anna Miller, Assistant Director for Growth and Regeneration said: "It's fantastic to have one of the very best construction companies as our delivery partner.
"Speller Metcalfe has successfully delivered many public and private projects across the region and we’re very pleased to have them on board to help us deliver our ambitious programme to rejuvenate Tamworth town centre."
Work is expected to start in the coming months.
