Summary of the contracting process

Newry, Mourne and Down District Council commissioned a consultancy service to design and deliver a culturally focused integration programme for women in farming. The programme is intended to bring together women from diverse and underrepresented backgrounds who live in, work in, or are connected to farming and rural life across the Slieve Gullion District Electoral Area. The work covers community, social and personal services, with education and training elements. It is a service contract delivered in the Slieve Gullion area, in the Newry and Mourne district of Northern Ireland. The stated purpose is to support participation, inclusion and connections among women involved in farming and rural communities.

The procurement has been awarded following an open procedure. Bids closed on 11 August 2026, and the contract was awarded to Rural Health Partnership on 12 August 2026. The awarded value is £10,143. The contract runs from 12 August 2026 to 31 December 2026. The requirement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Evaluation was for a consultancy service covering programme design and delivery, with the stated scope focused on culturally sensitive integration for women from diverse and underrepresented backgrounds connected with farming and rural life. The award is active, and no separate lots or alternative awards are recorded.

This award indicates a focused requirement for a small, community-oriented consultancy able to combine programme design with practical delivery. Credible competitors would need experience working with women, farming communities and rural populations, particularly people from diverse or underrepresented backgrounds. Cultural awareness, inclusive engagement methods and the ability to build trust across communities are central to the requirement. Relevant capability could include facilitating group activities, delivering education or training, managing community partnerships and demonstrating outcomes from integration or participation programmes. Local knowledge of the Slieve Gullion area and established links with rural organisations would strengthen a future proposal. The requirement is also suited to SMEs, including specialist social enterprises and community consultancies.
