Summary of the contracting process

Newry, Mourne and Down District Council commissioned a shared history and culture programme for children in Rostrevor. The service involves designing, developing and delivering a summer scheme focused on the lives and legacies of Giant Murphy, also known as Patrick Murphy, and “Honest” John Martin. Children are to explore and retell Rostrevor’s history in their own voices, linking past and present and celebrating local cultural heritage. Delivery is expected to use music, drama, visual art and storytelling, with collaborative work led by an experienced community facilitator. This is a services opportunity covering education and training, community, cultural and recreational activity. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

The procurement has been awarded following an open procedure. The award was made on 21 July 2026 to Cultúrlann Caisleán Ruairí for £8,099.12 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 20 July 2026 to 31 October 2026. The original tender deadline was 19 July 2026. The requirement was for one service covering the programme and summer scheme. The tender was complete when the award was recorded, and the award is active. The evaluation basis is not described in the available procurement details. Newry, Mourne and Down District Council is the buyer, and Cultúrlann Caisleán Ruairí is the selected supplier.

This requirement indicates demand for small-scale, place-based children’s cultural programming that combines community engagement with creative education. A credible future competitor would need an experienced facilitator able to work collaboratively with children, build trust with local communities and turn historical research into accessible activities. Relevant capability includes planning and delivering workshops in music, drama, visual art and storytelling, supporting children to create and present their own interpretations, and connecting local heritage with contemporary experience. Suppliers with strong knowledge of Rostrevor or comparable community heritage projects would be well placed. Organisations should also be able to coordinate a structured summer scheme, manage delivery for a public-sector client and demonstrate suitable experience of inclusive youth engagement.
