Summary of the contracting process

Newry, Mourne and Down District Council is procuring a social and emotional intergenerational support programme funded through PEACEPLUS. The appointed consultancy company will design, develop and deliver seven music and dance programmes, with one programme in each District Electoral Area across the council area. The work will use interactive workshops to explore how music and dance have changed and developed through recent history, bringing different generations together. Each programme will conclude with a celebration event, such as a tea dance or music concert. This is a community, cultural, education and training service, suited to organisations experienced in delivering participatory arts, intergenerational activity, social and emotional support, or related community programmes across the Newry, Mourne and Down area.

The procurement has reached tender: the council invited suppliers to submit offers through an open procedure. The deadline for submissions was 11 September 2026 at 12:00. The contract period set by the council runs from 2 November 2026 to 31 August 2027. Its estimated value is £43,750 excluding any applicable tax, in GBP. The requirement is presented as a single programme covering seven delivery areas rather than separate lots. Suppliers are expected to respond to the council’s tender requirements and provide a proposal for the full design, development and delivery service. The opportunity is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

This opportunity suits a consultancy, arts organisation, community interest company or other small or medium-sized provider able to manage a multi-location programme from design through delivery. Strong candidates will have practical experience creating and facilitating music, dance, cultural or educational workshops for participants from different generations, including activities that encourage social and emotional engagement. Capability to research and explain the development of music and dance through recent history, adapt sessions for varied audiences and coordinate delivery across seven District Electoral Areas will be important. Providers should also be able to organise an inclusive concluding event, such as a tea dance or concert, and manage programme planning, participant engagement, local coordination and delivery quality across the council area.
