Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Newry, Mourne and Down District Council is seeking a consultancy to design, develop and deliver a minority community support programme across the Rowallane and Slieve Croob District Electoral Areas. The programme will help participants explore migration, emigration, identity and belonging and how generations of movement have shaped Northern Ireland’s language, traditions, culture and community life. Activities will combine interactive workshops, genealogy work and a cultural study visit, with participants also reflecting on their own family histories and personal journeys. This is a community and cultural learning service, rather than a request for a standalone research report or training course. The procurement is aimed at consultancy companies able to deliver an engaging programme for minority communities in the named areas.

The council invited offers through an open procedure. The tender deadline was 10 November 2026 at 12:00 UTC. The planned contract period runs from 30 November 2026 to 30 April 2027. The estimated procurement value is £20,307. The published requirement describes one programme across the Rowallane and Slieve Croob areas, without separate lots. Small and medium-sized businesses are identified as suitable. The stated scope sets out the activities and subject matter, but gives no separate scoring or weighting basis for evaluating offers. The procurement reached the tender stage, at which the buyer invited suppliers to submit offers; no later award or contract is recorded in this process information.

This opportunity suits consultancy firms with the ability to create and deliver inclusive, participant-focused community programmes, especially those combining facilitated workshops, genealogy activities and cultural visits. Relevant experience could include work on minority community support, migration histories, identity, belonging or Northern Ireland’s social and cultural heritage, alongside practical programme design and delivery. Suppliers will need to bring together engaging learning activities that connect wider historical movements with participants’ own family stories and experiences. The varied format requires capacity to organise activities across two District Electoral Areas and coordinate a cultural study visit as part of the programme. The buyer explicitly considers small and medium-sized businesses suitable, so the requirement is positioned for capable smaller consultancies as well as larger providers. No particular accreditation or professional qualification is identified in the stated requirements.
