PEACEPLUS - Our Historical Borough

Antrim and Newtownabbey Borough Council has received funding through the Special EU Programmes Body (SEUPB) to develop and deliver a PEACEPLUS Local Community Action Plan. Programme 1 entitled ‘Our Historical Borough’ will ensure the regeneration and connectivity of heritage and historical sites throughout the Borough.

As part of this, Council will deliver a range of new heritage focused visitor products, including walking and driving trails, promoted through two central Heritage Hubs. This programme will provide a platform for building a strong and vibrant local historical and tourism economy, whilst protecting and supporting the growth and knowledge of our shared history for many years to come.

As part of the ‘Our Historical Borough’ Programme, Council seeks to deliver the following projects:

The purpose of this questionnaire is to gain an understanding of the latest developments, technology and products in the tourism and heritage industry, in relation to the above projects and how this can inform the Council’s tender specification.

Any information gathered will NOT be considered in any future tender evaluation exercise.

Participation or non-participation in this pre-procurement market engagement shall not prevent any supplier participating in a potential procurement process nor is it intended that any information supplied shall place any supplier at an advantage in any upcoming procurement process.

For avoidance of doubt, this stage of the project is not part of a formal procurement process. Any procurement process will be conducted in accordance with rules and regulations applicable to projects funded under the PEACEPLUS programme.
