Castle Gardens Restoration and Improvements

Norwich City Council is undertaking a procurement exercise to seek a single supplier to carry out hard landscaping restoration and improvement works at Norwich Castle Gardens. The restoration and improvement works required in this procurement will promote the use of Castle Gardens as a linear park. The area has seen an increase of anti-social behaviour in the past few years but by opening up the space and by working with Norfolk Police, it is hoped this will help towards alleviating these occurrences. The refurbishment of the gardens will also have many social value benefits. The improved access links from the surrounding area will increase footfall through the gardens including from Rose Lane Multi-Storey Car Park through to the main shopping area of the city so will encourage economic growth. As the whole of the Castle restoration is an extremely high-profile project, it is important that the successful supplier/s has experience of working on historically sensitive sites and working in accordance with the scheduled ancient monument consent to deliver the works within the curtilage of Norwich Castle. The project will be a prestigious achievement for any supplier to undertake as part of their portfolio.
