Summary of the contracting process

Newry, Mourne and Down District Council commissioned a culturally focused integration programme based on a series of guided, family-friendly nature and wellbeing walks. The requirement covers both the design and delivery of the programme, combining community integration with outdoor recreation, wellbeing and cultural activity. It is a consultancy and programme-delivery service, with related education, training, recreational, cultural and community elements. The work is associated with Newry, County Down, at the council’s address in the Greenbank Industrial Estate area. The opportunity is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. It is relevant to consultancy organisations, community-interest companies and other providers able to design inclusive activities and deliver guided walks for families and diverse communities.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following an open procedure. The contract was awarded to KITABNA - OUR BOOK CIC on 12 August 2026 for £10,100. The contract period runs from 12 August 2026 to 31 December 2026. The original tender closed for submissions on 11 August 2026. Newry, Mourne and Down District Council is the buyer. The requirement was treated as a services procurement, with education and training services as the primary classification and recreational, cultural, sporting, community, social and personal services as additional categories. The award is active, and the selected supplier is responsible for the contracted requirement.

This award demonstrates demand from Newry, Mourne and Down District Council for small-scale, culturally focused integration delivered through guided outdoor activities. A credible future competitor would need to combine consultancy capability with practical programme delivery, including the design of family-friendly nature and wellbeing walks and the ability to make them accessible to diverse communities. Relevant strengths include community engagement, cultural awareness, wellbeing activity, outdoor facilitation, educational or training delivery and safe management of guided group sessions. A community-interest company or specialist small consultancy with experience turning inclusion objectives into structured local activities would fit the requirement well. The successful supplier also indicates that organisations with a community-focused delivery model can compete for this type of council work.
