This Request for Information (RFI) 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.
