Summary of the contracting process

Newry, Mourne and Down District Council commissioned a festival programme for the Farmers Festival in the Crotlieve DEA. The service covers the design, development and delivery of an engaging programme for the local community. Its purpose is to provide a celebratory, educational and participant-led project that promotes understanding, appreciation and respect for cultural identities, traditions and rural heritage. This is a community, cultural and educational service, with related recreational and social elements. The requirement is suited to small and medium-sized enterprises. The work is associated with the Crotlieve area, within the council’s district. Suppliers would need to combine creative programme development with practical event delivery and an understanding of how local communities can participate meaningfully in cultural and rural heritage activity.

The procurement has been completed following an open procedure. The contract was awarded to Tumbling Paddy on 9 September 2026 for £18,950 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract runs from 9 September 2026 to 31 December 2026. The original estimated procurement value was £19,545 GBP. The tender deadline was 8 September 2026. Newry, Mourne and Down District Council was the buying organisation. The requirement was classified principally as education and training services, with related recreational, cultural, sporting, community, social and personal services. One supplier was selected and the award is active. The completed procurement therefore records the council’s chosen provider, the agreed contract value and the delivery period for this Farmers Festival programme.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award indicates demand from Newry, Mourne and Down District Council for small-business delivery of locally focused cultural and educational events. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate creative capability in designing a complete festival programme, practical capacity to develop and deliver it, and the ability to make activities engaging and participant-led. Relevant experience should show how events can celebrate cultural identities, traditions and rural heritage while building understanding, appreciation and respect within a local community. Strong community engagement, inclusive programme planning, and the ability to combine educational content with enjoyable festival activity would be important. Suppliers with event production skills alongside cultural, rural heritage or community-development experience would be well placed for a comparable requirement.
