Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Newry, Mourne and Down District Council is buying consultancy services to design, develop and deliver a shared history and culture programme centred on Hanna’s Close, a preserved Ulster-Scots clachan in Aughnahoory, Kilkeel. The programme is intended to build participants’ understanding of individual, family and collective history through exploring the settlement. Its particular focus is genealogy: tracing family connections linked to Hanna’s Close and patterns of emigration. Participants will examine how local families established lives around the world and the social, economic and cultural impact they and their descendants have had on communities locally and internationally. The work combines research and interpretation with programme design and delivery, drawing on the settlement’s history to engage participants with shared heritage.

The buyer invited offers through an open procedure. The tender deadline set was 29 October 2026 at 12:00 UTC. The contract is scheduled to run from 16 November 2026 to 30 June 2027. Its stated value is £8,099. The published evaluation basis and any separate enquiry deadline are not described in the available procurement details. The requirement is presented as one programme centred on Hanna’s Close, rather than as separate lots. The procurement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. No cancellation or withdrawal is indicated.

This opportunity suits a consultancy able to develop and deliver a heritage education or cultural programme, bringing together historical research, genealogy and engaging activities for participants. Relevant strengths include tracing family connections, interpreting local settlement history and emigration, and explaining how migration shaped communities both in the region and internationally. Suppliers should be able to turn historical material into a coherent programme that helps participants explore individual, family and collective identity. Experience working with community heritage, Ulster-Scots history or culturally rooted learning would be useful to the subject matter. The buyer explicitly marks the requirement as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses, making it relevant to specialist consultancies as well as larger providers with appropriate programme-development and delivery capability.
