York has positioned itself as a year-round visitor attraction, welcoming circa eight million tourists per annum. Clifford’s Tower is English Heritage’s second highest income generator in the North, after Whitby Abbey, and attracts 150k visitors a year, making it amongst our top ten sites from a visitor volume perspective. This invitation to tender is regarding the AV interpretation elements of a major project with the ambitious aim of creating an updated attraction within the tower. The project includes a larger deck at roof level and walkways within the tower that provide increased access to views and allow people to enter first floor areas which are currently inaccessible. Together with this, the scheme includes an entirely new visitor building, containing an exhibition, to be constructed within an excavated section of the foot of the castle mound. The scheme creates the opportunity to significantly improve the interpretation at the Tower making the site a more attractive proposition to potential visitors, increasing satisfaction and dwell time. We have already contracted an architect design team and the overall design has recently received planning permission. The current programme will see the new visitor experience open to the public in late autumn 2017. You are invited to submit a Tender via the In-Tend system for the above in accordance with the enclosed Instructions to Tenderers. Your tender must be received by 17.00 hours on Wednesday 30th November 2016 and shall remain open for acceptance for not less than sixty (60) days from such date, or in the event that the aforementioned date is extended, the final date for submission of Tenders. Interviews are scheduled to take place in London on the 8th December.
