Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Newry, Mourne and Down District Council is procuring consultancy services to design, develop and deliver a structured PEACEPLUS Minority Community Integration Programme called Colours of Asia. The programme will celebrate Holi, the Hindu Festival of Colours, through interactive workshops and celebration activities. Delivery will be undertaken in partnership with the Indian community in the Crotlieve District Electoral Area. The work falls within recreational, cultural and sporting services, with related education and training and community, social and personal services elements. This is a community-focused cultural and engagement commission rather than a supply-only opportunity, and is intended for a consultancy organisation able to shape and deliver an inclusive programme with local community participation.

The procurement has reached tender: the council invited offers through an open procedure. The tender submission deadline set by the buyer is 14 October 2026 at 12:00 noon. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 December 2026 to 30 April 2027. Its estimated value is £10,153.62 including the stated currency of GBP. The requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The published tender information describes the programme and delivery requirements, but does not set out a separate scoring breakdown or weighting for evaluation criteria. Suppliers should therefore review the competition requirements and prepare an offer covering the proposed design, development and delivery of the programme.

This opportunity suits a consultancy company with practical experience in designing and delivering cultural, educational or community-integration programmes. Strong candidates are likely to be able to develop engaging workshop content, organise celebration activities and manage delivery across a defined programme period. Relevant capability includes working sensitively with minority communities, building effective partnerships with community representatives and translating cultural themes into accessible activities for participants. Experience involving the Indian community, Holi or comparable festivals would be directly relevant, as would a track record in participatory workshops, event coordination and community engagement. The requirement is explicitly suitable for SMEs, making it accessible to smaller specialist consultancies with the capacity to manage the full design-to-delivery service.
