Summary of the contracting process

Fermanagh and Omagh District Council is buying the design and delivery of a youth drama programme for 90 young people aged 16–21 from communities across the border region. The programme uses theatre and creative arts workshops to bring participants together, encourage dialogue and collaboration, and build understanding across different backgrounds and identities. Activities address identity, culture, belonging, respect, inclusion and positive relationships, while developing communication, teamwork, leadership and performance skills. Delivery is organised in three groups of 30 participants. This is a youth education and community arts service, rather than a one-off performance or supply of equipment. The initiative’s purpose is peace-building through shared creative experiences for young people in the cross-border community.

The buyer invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. The procurement is presented as one lot. The gross estimated value is £105,120. The contract period runs from 1 December 2026 to 30 April 2028. The deadline for questions is 18 November 2026 at 12:00, and the offer submission deadline is 23 November 2026 at 12:00. Electronic submission is allowed through the stated e-tendering portal. The evaluation basis is set out in the tender document. The programme is planned for three tranches of 30 participants, with delivery described as taking place between 1 December 2026 and 31 March 2028; the lot’s stated contract period ends later, on 30 April 2028.

This requirement is suited to providers with experience designing and delivering structured drama or theatre programmes for young people, particularly those able to work with participants aged 16–21 from different communities across a border region. Strong candidates will be able to facilitate inclusive, safe group work and use creative practice to support dialogue around identity, culture, belonging, respect and positive relationships. The delivery model calls for the capacity to work with 90 participants across three groups, combining workshop facilitation with purposeful development of communication, teamwork, leadership and performance skills. Relevant strengths include youth engagement, community arts, peace-building and cross-community programme delivery. The work is likely to suit an organisation able to coordinate a sustained programme and bring together young people for shared creative activity.
