Procurement of Audio Guides for Use in Saint Patrick's Cathedral Dublin

Saint Patrick’s Cathedral

Saint Patrick’s Cathedral is the National Cathedral of the Church of Ireland. It is a place of worship and is a registered charity (CHY848). The Cathedral attracts over half a million visitors a year, most of whom pay an admission fee. Saint Patrick’s endeavours to provide interpretative tools to help contextualise the Cathedral’s life and history for its visitors. To this end, the Cathedral wishes to purchase a stock of audio guides with content in English, Irish, Italian, German, Spanish and French. This should include an adult tour and an English language children’s tour. The audio guides should have the ability to add additional languages and tours in the future. These audio guides will either be free of charge or for a small additional charge. This service will be primarily for individual visitors. Users will return the audio guide at the end of their visit. The Cathedral is seeking to purchase approx. 350 physical audio guides but this order may change depending on unit price.
