Summary of the contracting process

Newry, Mourne and Down District Council commissioned a culturally focused integration programme centred on shared culinary experiences. The service involves designing and delivering interactive cooking workshops, cultural storytelling and guided visits to local food suppliers. It is intended to bring together people from minority ethnic and local communities across the Newry, Mourne and Down area, using food and shared activities to support community integration and cultural exchange. This is a community, social and personal service, with cultural and recreational and education and training elements. Delivery is associated with Newry and the wider Newry, Mourne and Down area. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

The procurement has been awarded following an open procedure. The contract was awarded to PREACHING HOUSE POTTERY COMMUNITY INTEREST COMPANY on 18 August 2026 for £10,000. The contract period runs from 17 August 2026 to 31 December 2026. The tender deadline was 16 August 2026. Evaluation was for the complete service described, covering programme design and delivery rather than a separately identified set of lots. The requirement was for services and the tender reached completion with an active award. Newry, Mourne and Down District Council is the buyer. The award demonstrates a short, defined delivery programme commissioned through an openly competed process.

This requirement is relevant to small community organisations, social enterprises, cultural education providers and specialist facilitators able to combine food-based activities with inclusion work. A credible competitor would need practical experience designing and running participatory cooking workshops, engaging people from different cultural backgrounds, and creating welcoming activities for both minority ethnic and local communities. Useful capability includes cultural storytelling, community outreach, workshop facilitation and the ability to organise guided visits with local food suppliers. Suppliers should also be able to manage a complete programme rather than provide only catering, training or venue support. The selected supplier’s community-interest-company status indicates that a locally rooted, socially focused organisation can meet this type of council requirement.
