Main Fit out for Norwich Castle: Gateway to Medieval England Castle Keep Project

Notice Description

Norfolk Museums Service, as part of Norfolk County Council, wishes to enter into a contract to fit out the main exhibition areas for the Norwich Castle: Gateway to Medieval England project. The chosen contractor will provide services in accordance with the Specification of Requirements, Appendix 2. Norwich Castle: Gateway to Medieval England is a four-year project to re-present Norwich Castle Keep, a 900 year-old-landmark on the city skyline.

For the first time in 900 years everyone will be able to explore all 5 levels of the Keep - from basement to battlements. The British Museum's first Medieval gallery outside London will bring treasures of international importance to Norwich, further enabling Norwich Castle to take its rightful place as one of the UK's premier heritage attractions.

NMS is now regarded as one of the leaders in the museum sector and is a National Portfolio Organisation for Arts Council England.
