Summary of the contracting process

Newry, Mourne and Down District Council is seeking consultancy services to design, develop and deliver a structured community programme celebrating Diwali, the Hindu Festival of Lights. The work includes interactive workshops, cultural exchange sessions and celebration activities, delivered in partnership with the Indian community in the Crotlieve District Electoral Area. This is a community, cultural and educational services opportunity, with recreational, cultural and sporting services also relevant. Delivery is associated with the Newry, Mourne and Down District Council area, particularly Crotlieve. The requirement is for a consultancy company able to combine programme design, community engagement, cultural understanding and practical event delivery for minority community integration.

The procurement has reached tender: the council invited offers through an open procedure. Bids were due by 27 August 2026 at 12:00 noon. The contract is scheduled to run from 28 September 2026 to 31 December 2026. Its stated value is £10,153.62 including the published currency of GBP. This is a single service requirement rather than a separately described lots-based opportunity. The procurement uses a services category and is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The opportunity concerns the full design, development and delivery of the Colours of Asia programme, including workshops, cultural exchange and Diwali celebration activities in partnership with the local Indian community.

This opportunity suits a small or medium-sized consultancy with experience in community development, cultural programming, education, training or event delivery. Strong candidates will be able to turn an inclusion objective into a structured programme, plan and facilitate interactive workshops, organise cultural exchange sessions and deliver safe, engaging celebration activities. Relevant experience of working with minority communities, Indian communities or partners on culturally specific events would be useful, particularly where it demonstrates respectful engagement and effective collaboration. Suppliers should have the people, planning capability and delivery capacity to complete a short, focused programme in partnership with the local community and the council.
