Description
Divis - A View to the Future Project has been made possible with The National Lottery Heritage Fund. Thanks to National Lottery players, we are improving access, enhancing engagement and ensuring the long-term protection of this unique landscape.
This Request for Proposal (RFP) sets out the Trust's situation and objectives in respect of the "Divis - A View to the Future Project".
The proposed works within this project lie across Divis and the Black Mountain, Northern Ireland, with four main areas of focus at the visitor hub and entrance from Divis Road, the Summit, the boardwalk south of Divis masts, and the existing farm track connecting the eastern side of the site to the Glencairn Road. Out with these areas, elements of signage and interpretation are required along the walking trails.
The RFI seeks initial information from a range of suppliers as to possible solutions, capacity, capability and relevant experience.
This two-stage procurement process is for the appointment of a Main Contractor / Principal Contractor to deliver the construction works associated with capital works outlined in the tender pack.
Stage One (RFP1) seeks initial information from a range of suppliers as to capacity, capability and relevant experience.
The successful bidders from the RFP1 process will be invited to the second stage, RFP2, where a Proposal Costing will be requested.
