Six-year role for The Royal Parks to include design work on historic assets
The charity which manages eight of London’s largest parks is looking for a conservation architect to provide advice on historic assets over the next six years.
The Royal Parks, which manages a portfolio including Hyde Park, Green Park and Regent’s Park, said the role will include recommending restoration works, ad hoc conservation advice and design work on a range of projects.
The charity has posted a tender notice for the £6.3m job, which would start on 4 January next year and run until 3 January 2031 with an option to extend a further two years to 2033.
Work would include condition surveys of the park’s nearly 200 listed assets with advice on potential maintenance and remedial works and recommendations on urgent works that arise due to damage or vandalism.
The practice will also act as conservation architect through all RIBA stages on projects on both listed and non-listed heritage assets.
Other parks in the charity’s roster include Kensington Gardens, St James’s Park, Richmond Park, Bushy Park, Greenwich Park and Primrose Hill.
Interested bidders have until midday on 9 September to submit requests to participate with a contract due to be awarded on 1 December. The award criteria is weighted at 60% for quality of the bid and 40% on price.
