## Summary

Fermanagh and Omagh District Council is seeking a provider to design and deliver a youth drama programme, combining drama workshops, theatre and other creative arts. It is a cross-border, cross-community peace-building initiative for 90 young people aged 16–21, delivered in three groups of 30. The programme will bring together young people from communities across the border region to build relationships and understanding across different backgrounds and identities. Facilitated activities will explore identity, culture, belonging, respect, inclusion and positive relationships, while developing participants’ communication, teamwork, leadership and performance skills. The work is youth education and community arts and activity, delivered across the border region; the procurement does not identify specific delivery towns or venues.

The Council invited offers through an open competition. The contract period runs from 16 November 2026 to 31 March 2028; the programme delivery is described as running from 1 December 2026 to 31 March 2028. The estimated value is £87,600 excluding VAT (£105,120 including VAT). Questions were due by 23 October 2026 at 12:00 UK time, and bids by 28 October 2026 at 13:00 UK time. The requirement is presented as one lot. The award basis is set out in the procurement documents, without further criteria described in the available details. Bids could be submitted electronically through the eTendersNI portal. The competition was below the applicable threshold.

This opportunity suits providers with practical experience designing and facilitating drama or creative-arts programmes for young people, particularly where the work brings together participants from different communities. Delivery requires the capacity to engage 90 participants aged 16–21 across three groups, and to run structured, facilitated workshops over an extended programme. Suppliers should be able to use theatre and creative activities to support dialogue, collaboration and personal development, and to address identity, culture, belonging, respect, inclusion and positive relationships. The programme also calls for activities that help participants build communication, teamwork, leadership and performance skills. Cross-border and cross-community delivery experience would be relevant to the stated purpose; no specific qualification or accreditation is identified.
