Summary of the contracting process

Newry, Mourne and Down District Council commissioned a programme of seven standalone PEACEPLUS projects, one in each District Electoral Area. The work brings together individuals and communities not usually involved in peacebuilding through structured contact, facilitated dialogue and capacity building. Its purpose is to strengthen cross-community relationships, help communities develop shared visions for their local areas, and contribute to reducing psychological and physical barriers and supporting long-term reconciliation. This is a community relationship-building and facilitated dialogue service, with education, training and social-work elements. Delivery is across the council district, with one project in each electoral area.

The procurement has been awarded following an open procedure. UTOPIAN TRAINING SOLUTIONS LTD was selected, with an award value of £68,480. The award date was 9 October 2026. The contract period runs from 10 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. The original tender deadline was 9 September 2026. The requirement was for one programme comprising seven separate local projects; the published information does not break the award into separate lot awards or values. Small and medium-sized enterprises were identified as suitable suppliers. The evaluation criteria are not stated in the published procurement details.

This award demonstrates demand from Newry, Mourne and Down District Council for a defined, district-wide peacebuilding programme delivered through seven locally based projects. Suppliers best placed to compete for comparable work will be able to design and deliver structured cross-community engagement, facilitate sensitive dialogue and build community capacity, including among people and groups not already active in peacebuilding. Credible providers will need to connect programme activity to stronger relationships, shared local visions, reduced barriers and longer-term reconciliation, while coordinating consistent delivery across multiple electoral areas. The award to a training solutions provider indicates that relevant facilitation and training delivery experience is pertinent. The published information does not set out specific accreditation or staffing requirements, so the evidence of fit is the ability to deliver this particular combination of community engagement, dialogue and capacity building.
