The requirement covers public relations services, including public relations management, event planning and delivery, and communications activity around the celebration event. The work is commissioned by the council and is associated with Newry and the surrounding Newry, Mourne and Down district. The stated delivery scope also extends across the United Kingdom and may involve wider international locations, including Europe, the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands and British Overseas Territories. This is a services opportunity suited to agencies able to combine event management with strategic public relations and campaign delivery. The process has reached tender: the council invited quotations through an open procedure. The deadline for quotations was 15 September 2026 at 12:00. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 16 December 2026. Its estimated value is £29,500. The requirement is presented as a single service opportunity rather than separate lots. Quotations are sought for the complete PR and event management requirement, covering both the DTFF celebration event and its supporting communications campaign. The published procurement category is services, with public relations services as the primary classification. The opportunity is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The requirement does not state a separate evaluation weighting or scoring basis. This opportunity suits an experienced public relations or event management agency that can plan and deliver a polished showcase event while running an effective supporting communications campaign. Relevant suppliers are likely to have practical expertise in event production, stakeholder coordination, media relations, content planning, publicity and campaign management. The work will favour teams able to manage several connected activities, maintain a consistent public message and deliver to a defined event timetable. Agencies should be capable of working with a local authority and presenting digital transformation outcomes clearly to public, community and other stakeholders. The stated SME suitability makes the requirement accessible to smaller specialist agencies, particularly those able to combine senior PR advice with hands-on event delivery capacity. ## Notice Newry, Mourne and Down District Council invites quotations from suitably experienced PR and Event Management agencies to deliver a high-quality showcase event and supporting communications campaign.
