    Brief

    Antrim and Newtownabbey Borough Council seeks a service provider to design, build, and maintain a comprehensive digital heritage experience for the borough. The project includes: Five borough-wide driving trails with audio commentary, interactive maps, and physical interpretation (10-15 location sites per trail); 10 local walking trails across named localities with audio guides, digital maps, and interpretation at key points; integration with two physical Heritage Hubs featuring signage and printed resources. The solution must deliver a free, public-facing app providing an engaging, accessible, and inclusive digital experience for residents and visitors. A sustainable content management system must enable the Council to independently maintain and expand the trails over time. The project launch is scheduled for July 2027, followed by a mandatory 3-year maintenance contract with an optional extension of up to 36 months, subject to performance review.
