Summary of the contracting process

Newry, Mourne and Down District Council commissioned accredited Mental Health First Aid training for community and voluntary organisations in the Mournes, Downpatrick and Rowallane District Electoral Areas. The service supports the council’s PEACEPLUS Action Plan, particularly its Strand 2 programme for thriving and peaceful communities. Training is intended to strengthen local organisations’ ability to identify people experiencing mental health challenges, respond confidently to emerging issues and signpost individuals to appropriate support. It forms part of a wider capacity-building programme covering leadership, cross-community relationships, engagement, social and emotional support, events, festivals and community justice interventions. This is a public service opportunity in education and training, health and social work, and community support, delivered for groups in the specified areas.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded through an open procedure. The tender deadline was 29 June 2026. The award date was 2 September 2026, with a contract period from 30 June 2026 to 31 December 2026. The awarded value is £17,400. Newry, Mourne and Down District Council awarded the contract to PIPS Hope and Support Limited. The requirement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The procurement covered one service requirement rather than separate lots. The selected provider is contracted to deliver the accredited Mental Health First Aid training supporting community and voluntary organisations in the Mournes, Downpatrick and Rowallane areas.

This procurement indicates demand from Newry, Mourne and Down District Council for specialist providers able to deliver accredited Mental Health First Aid training to community and voluntary organisations. Relevant suppliers would need credible mental health training capability, the ability to equip participants to recognise emerging mental health issues, respond appropriately and signpost people to further support. Experience of working with local community groups would be well aligned with the requirement, as would the ability to deliver capacity-building activity across several District Electoral Areas. Providers combining accredited trainers with practical knowledge of community wellbeing, social and emotional support, and engagement programmes would be positioned to compete effectively when comparable council requirements return. The awarded supplier provides a useful benchmark for the type of organisation selected.
