Summary of the contracting process

Newry, Mourne and Down District Council procured a minority community support programme covering the Newry, Mourne and Down Council area. The requirement was for a consultancy company or supplier to design, develop and deliver two initiatives: Minority Community Social Support and a Minority Community Integration Project. The programme is intended to increase understanding and integration of minority communities through community-led activities aligned with the needs of rural and urban communities. Each initiative is to deliver one group activity in each of the Council’s District Electoral Areas. This is a public service requirement classified as education and training services. The work is therefore suited to organisations able to combine programme design, community engagement, training or support delivery, and practical coordination across multiple local communities.

The procurement has been awarded following an open procedure. The tender closed on 20 August 2026, and the award was made on 21 August 2026 to FFK SOLUTIONS LTD. The awarded value is £71,000. The contract period runs from 21 August 2026 to 31 October 2027. The tender comprised two lots: Minority Community Social Support and Minority Community Integration Project. The published award identifies one active award to FFK SOLUTIONS LTD but does not allocate it to a particular lot. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The successful supplier was selected for delivery across the Council area, covering group activities in both rural and urban settings and across each District Electoral Area.

For suppliers assessing future demand from this Council, the award demonstrates a requirement for structured minority-community support and integration delivered through locally led activities. Credible competitors would need experience of designing and delivering community programmes, understanding the needs of minority communities, and adapting delivery to both rural and urban settings. They would also need the capacity to coordinate activity across the Council area and deliver separate group activity in every District Electoral Area. Strong community engagement, partnership working, programme management and education or training capability would be relevant. The requirement is suitable for SMEs, so a specialist consultancy, social enterprise or community-focused provider with sufficient geographic reach and delivery capacity could be well placed when a comparable requirement returns.
