Answer
The Department for Communities (DfC) is the owner of Ballycopeland Windmill.
DfC provided Construction and Procurement Delivery with a specification for an operator for the site and requested that a tender is issued for the contract.
The procurement strategy and tender documentation are under development at present. It is envisaged the competition will be published on eTendersNI before 31 March 2026.
Any further information in relation to this project should be directed to the Minister for Communities.
