About

Belfast City Council is seeking suppliers to provide fairground rides and entertainment packages for Council events, including the Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann event in Belfast City in August 2026. Expressions of interest (EOIs) are invited from suitably qualified and experienced providers and must be emailed to [email protected] by Friday 26 December 2025. After receipt of EOIs the Council may ask bidders to confirm they wish to proceed; bidders who confirm may be engaged to explore capability and capacity and will be added to a select list for further procurement stages. These stages are yet to be determined but are likely to include Stage 1 – engagement to help scope the requirement and understand capability and capacity, and Stage 2 – a competitive tendering stage, with any final contract value determined through market engagement.

Insight

This could be valuable for providers of fairground rides and event entertainment with prior experience supplying council or similar public events and the capacity to support an August 2026 event. Key considerations include meeting the EOI deadline of 26 December 2025, being prepared to demonstrate capability and capacity during early engagement, and competing in later procurement stages where final value will be set through market engagement.
