Norfolk County Council (the Council) wishes to enter into a contract for the provision of Project Management Services for the Norwich Castle: Gateway to Medieval England project.
In May 2016 it was announced that NMS has been successful with its first-round application to the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) for a major Heritage Grant. A second-round application is expected to be submitted in October 2017 with a view to completion by 2020.
Norwich Castle: Gateway to Medieval England is an exciting new project that will see Norwich Castle Keep transformed back to its former glory, as one of the finest Romanesque castles in Western Europe. The Project will drastically improve the visitor experience by reinstating the Norman principal floor and making the Keep a more understandable and accessible building. A new British Museum Partnership Gallery of the Medieval Period will also be created within the Keep.
The full scheme, including exhibition design and all project activities, is anticipated to cost in the region of GBP 13 million. The remainder of the Design Team are expected to be appointed by February 2017 in order to bring the Project to RIBA Stage 3 by December 2017.
Other development work, including a metric survey, a Conservation Plan, condition surveys, structural surveys and feasibility studies, will also be undertaken during the Development Phase.
The successful provider will work very closely with the Norfolk Museum Service Project Team and other appropriate departments at Norfolk County Council. They should have considerable experience of working on Listed or Scheduled historic buildings within a sensitive environment. They should also be flexible and prepared to work to HLF guidelines and within local authority constraints. A passion for the conservation of buildings and a strong commitment to high quality work are essential.

The aim of the Gateway to Medieval England project is to restore the historical and architectural integrity of Norwich Castle Keep, one of the most important and impressive secular buildings of its time in Europe. Currently reduced to a shell, the project will reconfigure the internal layout to replicate the original floor levels and rooms and create a powerful immersive learning experience, enabling people to explore the building as a Norman royal palace. The restored internal floors and spaces will provide a state of the art community venue supporting an extensive and creative programme of formal and informal learning events, alongside commercial functions. A new British Museum Gallery of the Medieval Period will highlight the importance of Norwich within Britain and on the international stage.
