Antrim and Newtownabbey Borough Council invites tenders for the design, build, and maintenance of a series of heritage trails to showcase the Borough’s cultural, social and industrial history and the associated app, which will be free, public facing and will include, at a minimum, the following:

• 10 local walking trails (named localities), each with audio, maps, and interpretation at key points.
• Linkage to physical signage/interpretation and printed resources available at two Heritage Hubs.
The aim of this project is to provide an engaging, accessible, and inclusive digital experience for residents and visitors as well as offering a sustainable content management system that will allow Council to maintain and grow the trails over time.
