Summary of the contracting process

Newry, Mourne and Down District Council commissioned a social and emotional intergenerational support programme centred on music and dance. The work covers the design, development and delivery of seven programmes, with one in each District Electoral Area across the council area. Each programme includes interactive workshops exploring how music and dance have changed over recent history, followed by a closing celebration such as a tea dance or music concert. This is a community and cultural service with an education and training element, rather than a purchase of equipment or construction work. Delivery is across the council area; the procurement data identifies Newry as the council’s address, but does not name individual delivery venues or districts.

The procurement is complete and awarded. The council used an open procedure. Clanrye Group was selected, with an award value of £39,744.08. The award date was 21 October 2026, and the contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 31 August 2027. The original estimated procurement value was £43,750, and the tender submission deadline was 30 September 2026. The requirement is a single programme covering seven District Electoral Areas; no separate lot awards are recorded. Small and medium-sized enterprises were considered suitable to participate. The available information describes the required service and programme outputs but does not set out a scoring breakdown or other detailed evaluation criteria.

For suppliers considering comparable work for this council, the awarded requirement demonstrates demand for a provider able to combine intergenerational community engagement with practical music and dance programming. A credible competitor would need to design and manage a coherent programme across multiple District Electoral Areas, deliver interactive workshops that connect participants with the history and evolution of music and dance, and organise a public-facing celebration at the end. Delivery planning should account for activities across the council area and the coordination needed to run seven programmes, rather than a single event. The successful supplier was Clanrye Group. The opportunity was described as suitable for SMEs, indicating that a smaller provider may be a fit where it can demonstrate the necessary programme design, facilitation and event-delivery capability.
