## Summary

The procurement process led by Newry, Mourne and Down District Council focuses on the regeneration of Newry City Centre through a comprehensive theatre/conference project. With the current procurement status being 'complete,' the tender includes building construction work under CPV classification 45210000, specifically aiming to refurbish Newry Townhall and establish an extension by redeveloping existing structures. The project commenced with a selective procurement method under a restricted procedure, emphasising works in Northern Ireland's region UKN, as per the legal framework 32014L0024. The contract was awarded to Woodvale Construction Company Ltd., reflecting the award status as active, with a significant contract value of £26,347,777 signed on 24th February 2026.

This tender represents substantial opportunities for growth within the construction industry, particularly for firms experienced in building works related to leisure, sports, culture, and public service buildings. The redevelopment project not only offers a venue with modern amenities but also adds cultural value to the area with a public performance space and associated facilities. Businesses equipped with capabilities in large-scale construction projects, focusing on quality, social value, and competitive pricing, stand a favourable chance in future selective procurements, positioning themselves for involvement in similar high-profile infrastructure developments. This renovation initiative is a gateway to enhancing business portfolios by aligning expertise with public sector development goals.
