## Summary

Armagh City, Banbridge, and Craigavon Borough Council have completed the procurement process for designing, producing, and delivering themed projection light shows with pyrotechnics in Armagh City, as part of the Georgian Festival for the years 2025 to 2027. Armagh, located in Northern Ireland, serves as the setting for this project, which is classified under public authority - sub-central government and follows Northern Irish devolved regulations. The procurement was carried out through an open method below the threshold with open competition. The contract, valued at £92,378.13, excluding VAT, was awarded on 3rd July 2025, and is set to run from 4th July 2025 to 15th June 2026, with the possibility of renewal.

This contract presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the creative and entertainment sectors, particularly those skilled in delivering high-quality, family-oriented projection shows and pyrotechnic services. With the expectation to attract approximately 30,000 visitors per event, businesses, especially large creative agencies, can leverage participation to expand their portfolios and showcase their expertise to a broad audience. The successful supplier, Creative Technology (Audio Visual) Ireland Limited, highlights that well-positioned large companies can effectively meet the council’s expectations and set a benchmark for high-quality services in similar future events. SMEs with innovative ideas and strong project management capabilities could also find rich opportunities in such contracts, potentially leading to collaborative projects with larger firms.

## Notice

Georgian Day is a key event in Armagh City's event calendar, attracting approximately 30,000 visitors into the city.

This extremely high-quality event in Market Square has proven extremely popular with crowds and the council wishes to continue to provide this exciting event to visitors and residents of the district. Armagh City Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council is seeking proposals from leading creative agencies for the development and delivery of a high quality, spectacular, family orientated, projection show to include the live arrival of Santa.
