## Summary

The Derry City and Strabane District Council recently completed a procurement process titled "Management of pop-up stalls and site build for Council events," focusing on the service industry within the public authority sector. The organisation sought tenders for the management and operation of temporary market stalls at various council-led events, supporting a schedule from March 2026 to March 2027. This contract was awarded on 20 March 2026 to Seasonal Outdoor Services Ltd. The procurement was conducted as an open competition, classified as below the threshold, with the procurement period set to begin on 23 March 2026 and potentially extend until 2029. The associated activities include transportation, installation, dismantling, and cleaning of the market stalls, with key events listed such as the St Patrick’s Day Festival and the City of Derry Jazz Festival, among others.

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses specializing in outdoor event services, particularly those with experience in managing temporary installations, as well as goods transportation services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly well-suited, given the scale of the project and competitive open procurement process, which garnered two bids from SMEs. Such contracts can enhance the growth potential for businesses by expanding their portfolio within public sector projects, driving further opportunities in related festival and event services managed by local governments. The awarded contract underlines the value placed on both quality and cost-efficiency, opening avenues for businesses that can deliver on these fronts.
