## Summary

The procurement process conducted by the Armagh, Banbridge & Craigavon Borough Council focuses on the provision of marquees and stretch tents for events organised by their Tourism, Arts and Culture Department. This procurement falls under the services category and follows an open procurement method, which is below the threshold for open competition. The contract, awarded to Ar-Marquees, was signed on 27th May 2026, with the contract period commencing on 1st June 2026 and ending on 31st May 2027, with an option to extend for one more year. The project is based in Craigavon, Northern Ireland, and is governed by Northern Irish devolved regulations.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in event services, particularly those skilled in providing temporary structures such as tents and associated equipment. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with the capability to handle such demands are well-positioned to benefit. The ability to scale operations to accommodate additional events is crucial, as highlighted in the tender requirements. Furthermore, the contract's potential extension offers sustained engagement and a chance for businesses to establish a long-term relationship with a public authority in a growing tourism and arts sector.

## Notice

Tender submissions are being sought from experienced and highly professional companies for the provision of marquees, stretch tents and associated equipment for the Councils Tourism Arts and Culture Departments annual events. These are all subject to change, and it is also possible that additional events may be added during the course of the contract term, where required. This must be considered by Tenderers as part of their tender submission, and capacity must be available to support additional events.
