Summary of the contracting process

Newry, Mourne and Down District Council commissioned a social and emotional intergenerational support programme focused on Men’s Sheds. The requirement covers the design, development and delivery of “The Shared Bench: Men’s Sheds Across Generations” for the Newry, Mourne and Down District Council area. It is a public service combining education and training, recreational and community activity, and social support. Delivery is associated with Newry and the wider Newry, Mourne and Down District Council area in Northern Ireland. The intended audience and participants are older and younger people engaging through Men’s Sheds and intergenerational activity. This is therefore relevant to organisations providing community development, social support, intergenerational programmes, training or consultancy-led programme delivery.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following an open procedure. County Down Rural Community Network was selected as the supplier. The award date was 11 August 2026 and the awarded value is £43,000. The contract period runs from 9 July 2026 to 30 June 2027. The tender deadline was 8 July 2026. The requirement was presented as a single service covering programme design, development and delivery rather than separate lots. It was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The procurement relates to services, with education and training as the primary classification and additional community, social, recreational, cultural and sporting elements. The published outcome records the selected supplier and an active award.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from Newry, Mourne and Down District Council for practical, community-based social and emotional support delivered through Men’s Sheds and intergenerational engagement. Suppliers considering similar work for this buyer would need to be credible in designing and developing structured programmes, translating social objectives into deliverable activities, and working with both older and younger participants. Relevant capability includes community development, education or training delivery, social support, intergenerational practice and the coordination of local partner networks. Organisations with experience managing participant-focused programmes and delivering activity across the Newry, Mourne and Down area would be well placed. The opportunity is also explicitly suitable for SMEs, making it relevant to smaller consultancies and community organisations with the required delivery capacity.
