The easy solution is to descend from Bb to G as then there will be contrary motion through this octave.

But I think moving the Bb up to a D giving a P5 and then moving the next note down to G giving a 3rd (and contrary motion entering and leaving the P5) gives a better sound - it seems to group the 12 bars into three 4-bar phrases.
