    Brief

    Waterways Ireland is establishing a framework agreement to engage qualified consulting firms to develop comprehensive Destination Experience Delivery Plans (DEDPs) for Blueways and Greenways across Ireland. The services required include visitor experience design, interpretation planning, outdoor interpretation strategies, branding, and wayfinding solutions. These projects support Waterways Ireland's 10-year plan and align with Failte Ireland's tourism development objectives. The framework aims to enhance visitor engagement with water-based and waterside recreational activities including walking, cycling, running, and paddle sports, while minimizing environmental impact and reducing carbon emissions. Waterways Ireland seeks to create distinctive experiences and unique positioning for each Blueway and Greenway through professional planning and design services. This is a non-exclusive framework agreement open to suitably qualified service providers on a competitive basis.
