Tender description

Framework agreement for the provision of professional services to develop Visitor Experience, Interpretation Planning, Outdoor Interpretation, Branding and Wayfinding Plans Blueways and Greenways have been called out in Waterways Ireland 10 Year Plan and various Destination Experience Delivery Plans DEDPs supported by Failte Ireland and other partners. The ongoing development of Blueways and Greenways represent a huge opportunity to increase participation in walking, cycling, running, use of mobility aids and paddle sports. Most activities on and alongside the waterways have minimal impact on the natural environment, and strides are being made to reduce the impact of carbon-emitting activities. Waterways Ireland seeks to specifically address the limitations and gaps in the visitor experience of the current Greenways and Blueways under development and future developments. It is vital to establish clear differentiation with a unique and distinctive “story” for each. Waterways Ireland invites tenders from suitably qualified service providers who wish to be considered for selection to the framework for the provision of the services to Waterways Ireland, on a non-exclusive basis.

About the buyer

Waterways Ireland is a cross-border body and the largest of the six North/South Implementation Bodies. The British-Irish Agreement of 1998 established the body. The Shannon Navigation, Grand Canal, Royal Canal, Barrow Navigation, Erne System and Lower Bann Navigation sit within that remit. The North South Ministerial Council sets policy direction, and a Chief Executive runs the body in place of a board. The 2022 annual report notes that fewer suppliers and contractors are bidding for its tenders.

Over the past 5 years, most of Waterways Ireland's contract awards have been in construction work, printed matter and construction materials.
