Summary of the contracting process

Newry, Mourne and Down District Council appointed an integrated consultancy team for the extension to Struell Cemetery in Downpatrick. The requirement covers construction consultancy and civil engineering consultancy services, including technical advice, design, procurement support and contract administration. The appointed consultant will help the Council expand burial capacity and deliver associated infrastructure in a coordinated and efficient way. The work must support the Council’s programme, budget and operational requirements while maintaining appropriate standards in an active cemetery environment. This is a professional services requirement for a suitably qualified consultancy capable of supporting a public infrastructure scheme from development and procurement through to delivery. The work is delivered for the Council’s cemetery extension project in Downpatrick.

The procurement has been awarded following an open procedure. The tender submission deadline was 20 September 2026, and the contract was awarded on 21 September 2026 to Collins Rolston Architects Ltd. The award value is £32,000. The contract runs from 21 September 2026 to 31 March 2028. The award is active and covers the full consultancy requirement rather than separately identified lots. The procurement was classified as construction consultancy services, with civil engineering consultancy as an additional classification. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award information records Collins Rolston Architects Ltd as the selected supplier for the Council’s Struell Cemetery extension consultancy services.

This award indicates demand from Newry, Mourne and Down District Council for integrated professional support on cemetery infrastructure and other sensitive public works. A credible competing supplier would need qualified architectural, technical and civil engineering capability, with the ability to coordinate design, procurement and contract administration rather than provide a single isolated service. Experience of developing and delivering infrastructure in an active cemetery environment would be relevant, including maintaining operational standards while construction or expansion takes place. The requirement also favours a consultancy able to manage programme, budget and delivery interfaces for a public-sector client. Small and medium-sized practices are identified as suitable, so a capable specialist consultancy or a well-coordinated multidisciplinary team could be positioned for comparable Council requirements.
