## Summary

Newry, Mourne and Down District Council is seeking a public relations and event management agency for a Digital Transformation Flexible Fund (DTFF) celebration event. The appointed agency will deliver a high-quality showcase event and a supporting communications campaign, covering public relations management and related communications activity. The work is to be delivered in the United Kingdom. This is a services requirement bought by the council, a public undertaking, and is presented as one combined requirement rather than separate service packages. It will suit agencies able to plan and deliver an event while also developing and managing the associated public relations campaign, including communications that present the Digital Transformation Flexible Fund and its outcomes effectively to relevant audiences.

The procurement has reached tender: the council invited quotations through a below-threshold open competition. It comprises one lot, with an estimated value of £29,500 excluding VAT and £35,400 including VAT. The deadline for enquiries was 9 September 2026 at 12:00, and quotations were due by 15 September 2026 at 12:00. The contract period is from 1 October 2026 to 16 December 2026. Evaluation is weighted 80% to project-specific questions and 20% to cost. Electronic submission is allowed, with quotations submitted through the MultiQuote supplier portal. The requirement is explicitly suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and for voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This opportunity suits an experienced public relations or event management agency that can combine event delivery with a focused communications campaign. Suppliers should be able to organise a polished showcase event, manage its supporting public relations activity and respond convincingly to project-specific questions about their proposed approach. The requirement is suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so it is accessible to organisations with a focused specialist offer as well as larger agencies. Relevant strengths include event planning and delivery, campaign development, media and stakeholder communications, public-facing presentation of digital transformation work, and the capacity to complete a short, defined assignment within the required delivery window. No specific accreditation is stated as a condition of participation.
