Summary of the contracting process

Newry, Mourne and Down District Council commissioned an inclusive sports programme under the PEACEPLUS Thriving Together, Celebrating Cultures and Diversity initiative. The requirement covers the design, development and delivery of a two-stage programme, combining community, education, training, recreational, cultural and sporting services. Its purpose is to increase understanding of disability inclusion, strengthen inclusive practice among local sporting organisations, expand participation opportunities for people with disabilities and support stronger, more connected communities across the Newry, Mourne and Down district. The work is classified mainly as community, social and personal services, with related education and training and recreational, cultural and sporting services. It is a service contract intended for delivery in the district and is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following an open procedure. The tender was published on 24 July 2026 and the submission deadline was 1 September 2026. The estimated value was £19,545, while the active award to HEALTHY KIDZ CIC was £19,530. The award date was 2 September 2026, with the contract running from 2 September to 31 December 2026. The evaluation concerned the supplier’s ability to provide the specified programme and its overall value against the requirement; the available record does not set out a detailed scoring split. One supplier is identified as awarded. The contract covers the full two-stage programme rather than separate lots, and the process is complete with an active award.

This procurement shows that Newry, Mourne and Down District Council buys short, focused programmes combining inclusive sport, disability awareness, organisational practice and community development. A credible future competitor would need to design and deliver a structured two-stage programme, work effectively with local sporting organisations and create meaningful participation opportunities for people with disabilities. The requirement favours suppliers able to combine creative programme development with practical delivery, inclusive coaching or activity planning, stakeholder engagement and community-building outcomes. Experience of disability inclusion and of improving access to sport would be directly relevant, as would the capacity to support organisations to strengthen their own inclusive practice. The opportunity is presented as suitable for SMEs, indicating that a smaller specialist provider or community-interest organisation with the necessary delivery capability could be well placed.
