Heritage Trails and Mobile App Development for Antrim and Newtownabbey

Antrim and Newtownabbey Borough Council is seeking tenders for the design, development, and three-year maintenance of heritage trails and an associated public-facing mobile app. The project will feature five borough-wide driving trails with audio commentary and 10 local walking trails, each with interactive maps, interpretation, and audio content at key locations (10-15 sites per driving trail). The app will connect to physical signage and printed resources at two Heritage Hubs and provide a user-friendly content management system enabling the Council to maintain and expand trail offerings long-term. The project is partially funded by SEUPB under the PEACEPLUS Programme. Expected project completion and app launch is July 2027, followed by a three-year maintenance contract with potential for a further 36-month extension based on performance review. Suppliers should demonstrate capability in app development, digital content creation, heritage interpretation, accessibility compliance, and sustainable platform management.
