This project falls under the architectural and related services category, with an estimated value of £20,000. The open procurement method is applied here, allowing participation by all interested parties. The tender period is set to close on 22nd February 2019, with the contract expected to commence on 1st April 2019 and last until 31st January 2022. The project's delivery location is in Thetford, IP24 1BN, England, and is supported by Historic England through a development grant application by the Trustees.
