Appointment of Consultant to Deliver Carrickfergus Conservation Plan

Tender description

Mid and East Antrim Council (MEABC) in partnership with Department for Communities Historic Environment Division (DfC HED) wish to appoint consultants to prepare a Conservation Management Plan (CMP) that considers Carrickfergus Castle, Carrickfergus Town Walls and Carrickfergus Gasworks in Co. Antrim. These sites are key heritage and economic assets for Carrickfergus and the surrounding area. In order to unlock their potential for community cohesion and appropriate enhancement through funding opportunities such as the planned Carrickfergus City Deal Regeneration Project (Carrickfergus City Deal), an overall Conservation Management Plan is required relating to these three heritage assets. The conservation management plan will assess the key significances and characteristics of each of the three sites and set out conservation policies and robust management frameworks for their protection and conservation and consider the feasibility of proposals made for each in the Carrickfergus City Deal against the conservation policies set out in the conservation management plan.
