## Summary

Belfast City Council is overseeing the procurement of a campsite for the Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann event, scheduled for August 2026 in Belfast City. This procurement, classified under camping-site services, falls under the public authority of sub-central government regulations within Northern Ireland. The current stage of the procurement is complete, with the contract awarded and signed to begin on 31st March 2026, continuing until 29th March 2027. Expressions of interest were required by 28th November 2025, and prospective bidders were invited to engage through a competitive flexible procedure. The total contract value stands at £2,040,000 GBP, with potential options for extension subject to approvals and performance evaluations. The procurement method used is selective, following the principles of the light touch regime to include flexibility in contract options and additional services.

This tender presents substantial growth opportunities for businesses involved in camping site services and non-hotel accommodation, particularly those looking to expand their influence within the hospitality and events sector. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are well-positioned to compete, given the procurement's emphasis on flexibility and engagement. Businesses offering catering services, as well as those equipped to handle large-scale event accommodations, can benefit from participating in this project. The involvement in such a high-profile event will provide significant exposure and a chance to showcase capabilities in managing large crowd accommodations, catering, and related services. Businesses that can offer innovative solutions and demonstrate strong quality, cost-effectiveness, and social value will have an advantageous position in future opportunities with Belfast City Council. Nord Events Ltd, an SME, has already been awarded the contract, highlighting the scope for SMEs to secure contracts in this domain.
