Summary of the contracting process

Newry, Mourne and Down District Council commissioned an integrated consultancy team for improvements to the existing Newry to Poyntzpass Greenway. The service covers civil engineering consultancy, including RIBA Stages 2 and 3: concept design, spatial coordination, condition surveys and upgrade assessments. The team is also required to coordinate environmental consultants, undertake community consultation, engage stakeholders and landowners, prepare planning submissions and secure other statutory approvals. The purpose is to improve the greenway’s accessibility, safety, connectivity and overall user experience. This is a services contract delivered along the Newry to Poyntzpass route in Northern Ireland, with the tender identifying Newry as the buyer’s location. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

The procurement has been awarded following an open procedure. The tender deadline was 10 September 2026, and the award was made on 18 September 2026. Collins Rolston Architects Ltd was selected for the contract at an awarded value of £54,000. The contract runs from 11 September 2026 to 10 September 2029. The requirement formed Lot 1 of the ICT framework for Newry City to Poyntzpass Greenway improvements. The procurement was evaluated through the open tender process described by the council, with the successful supplier appointed to deliver the integrated consultancy service. The award is active and the tender is complete, so this procurement is an outcome record rather than an opportunity to submit a bid.

This award indicates demand from Newry, Mourne and Down District Council for multidisciplinary consultancy teams able to develop and obtain approvals for active-travel infrastructure improvements. A credible competitor for similar work would need coordinated civil engineering, architectural or spatial design and environmental capability, supported by experience of RIBA Stages 2 and 3, condition assessment and upgrade design. The requirement also favours firms that can manage planning submissions and statutory approvals, consult communities, and work constructively with landowners and public stakeholders. Experience delivering improvements to existing greenways or comparable linear transport infrastructure would help demonstrate practical understanding of accessibility, safety and connectivity challenges. The buyer’s identification of the work as suitable for SMEs suggests that a capable smaller practice or well-formed multidisciplinary team could compete effectively.
