Tender description

Derry City and Strabane District Council (DCSDC) invites tenders from suitably qualified and experienced arts organisations, or partner-led organisations to participate in the delivery of street spectacle art as part of Derry Halloween 2026. This milestone 40th anniversary programme, “It’s in Our Bones”, is rooted in a shared celebration of imagination, wit, wonder and folklore, where people transform, tell the tallest tales and, for a few enchanted days and nights, the unbelievable becomes believable. It will be delivered through a collaborative partnership model, placing street spectacle at the core of both Awakening the Walls City Trail (ATWC) and the Halloween Carnival Parade. Your submission must be submitted via etendersNI, via this CFT. No other method of submissions will be accepted. Please refer to the CfT documents for further detail. ## Contract award Title: T26-085BUS Partner-Led Organisations -- Derry Halloween Parade 2026
