UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process undertaken by Newport City Council involved the direct award of a contract for "Performance in Education" productions for all primary schools in Newport, under the industry category of primary education services. The key aspect of this initiative is to promote air quality awareness amongst primary age children through the theatre production "Abbie Ayre & The Shed of Science". The procurement was executed below threshold without competition, funded entirely by the Welsh Government, with no financial implications for Newport City Council. This contract was awarded to "Performance in Education", and it is set to be active from 12th January 2026 to 13th February 2026, with a total gross contract value of £36,000. The procurement stage has now reached completion as of 7th August 2025, and the supplier is based in Cardiff, Wales.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in educational services and theatre production, especially those focusing on environmental themes and educational messaging. Companies with expertise in delivering creative educational experiences would be well-suited to engage in similar future procurements. As the current contract highlights the value Newport City Council places on quality educational initiatives, it can become a launching point for small to medium enterprises (SMEs), like "Performance in Education", to grow their portfolios by demonstrating successful collaborations with local government entities.
