Summary of the contracting process

Newry, Mourne and Down District Council commissioned a cultural heritage and community education programme, titled “Woven Through Time – Exploring the Shared Heritage of Bessbrook”. The appointed consultancy is to design, develop and deliver a structured programme celebrating Bessbrook’s history and industrial heritage. The activities include expert-led talks and workshops, a guided historical walking tour, a relevant study visit and a practical weaving workshop. The programme is intended to promote understanding of shared heritage across communities and encourage reflection on how industrial heritage shapes identity. This is a services contract covering cultural, educational and community activities, delivered in and around Bessbrook, County Down. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

This procurement has been completed and awarded following an open procedure. The tender deadline was 17 August 2026. The contract runs from 18 August 2026 to 30 November 2026. Newry, Mourne and Down District Council awarded the contract on 9 September 2026 to CRAICNI C.I.C. for £7,950. The award is active and covers the full programme requirement rather than separately identified lots. The procurement was classified as recreational, cultural and sporting services, with education and training and community, social and personal services also relevant. The process used a single award, with the contract period matching the delivery period. The procurement’s completed status means the commercial outcome has already been decided.

This requirement shows demand from Newry, Mourne and Down District Council for a small, focused heritage engagement programme combining research, public learning, community participation and practical activity. Suppliers well placed for similar work would have experience developing cultural or industrial heritage programmes, interpreting local history for mixed audiences, and delivering talks, workshops, guided tours and study visits as one coherent offer. Credibility would also come from knowledge of community relations and shared heritage, with the ability to create activities that encourage constructive discussion about identity. A capable provider would need to coordinate venues, presenters, guides, participants and practical workshop resources, while delivering an accessible programme in Bessbrook. Community interest companies, specialist heritage consultancies, museums, arts organisations and education providers with comparable delivery experience could be relevant competitors when this type of requirement returns.
