Summary of the contracting process

Newry, Mourne and Down District Council commissioned a residents’ survey covering its council areas. The work involves market research and survey services, with a representative sample of residents aged over 16. The purpose is to gather residents’ views across the council area through a structured research exercise. Delivery is associated with Newry, Mourne and Down in Northern Ireland, with the procurement record also identifying Newry as the buyer’s address. This is a services contract suited to organisations that design and deliver public opinion surveys, recruit representative samples, collect responses and analyse findings for a local authority. The requirement is relevant to market research agencies, social research consultancies and survey specialists with experience of community or resident research.

The procurement has been awarded following an open procedure. The contract was awarded to Social & Market Research on 21 July 2026 for £22,750 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 27 July 2026 to 29 January 2027. The tender deadline was 10 July 2026 at 1pm. The requirement was identified under market research services and survey services. The opportunity was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. It was presented as a single requirement rather than separate lots. The evaluation basis recorded for this procurement is the selection of a supplier through the open tender process; detailed quality and price weightings are not included in the available award information.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from Newry, Mourne and Down District Council for representative resident research, delivered within a local-government setting and at a modest project scale. A credible future competitor would need practical expertise in questionnaire design, sample planning and recruitment, with the ability to reach residents aged over 16 across the council’s area. Useful capability would include mixed-method or structured survey delivery, fieldwork management, response-quality controls, data cleaning and clear analysis of community views. Suppliers should also be able to present findings in a form that supports council decision-making. The buyer’s classification of the opportunity as suitable for SMEs indicates that specialist research agencies and smaller social research consultancies can be credible providers for this type of requirement.
