Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Mid Ulster Generalist Advice Service" was conducted by Mid Ulster District Council, aimed at offering independent benefit advice to residents to enhance their income and quality of life. This service, under the main procurement category of services, is significant due to its focus on empowering individuals through free advice. Located in Cookstown, Northern Ireland, this tender falls under the "Other community, social and personal services" industry category. The process followed an open procurement method, with the tender period ending on 2nd February 2026 and the contract period set from 1st June 2026 to 31st May 2029. The procurement has reached the award stage, with all necessary procedures completed and delivery set to commence imminently.

This tender represents a substantial opportunity for businesses in the advisory and support services sector to grow and establish their presence within Northern Ireland. The focus on empowerment through generalist advice is well-suited for entities with experience in providing accessible information services, particularly those understanding the local socio-economic challenges. Large-scale organisations like the South Tyrone Empowerment Programme, already identified as a supplier, are ideal candidates given their capacity to deliver comprehensive, community-focused advice services. Businesses with the ability to work closely with governmental bodies and local councils are poised to effectively compete in such tenders, contributing to the upliftment of communities through quality service provision.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Mid Ulster Generalist Advice Service

Notice Description

Generalist voluntary advice is provided across Northern Ireland through a partnership between the Department for Communities and Councils. The aim of the general advice service is to provide independent benefit advice to the residents of Mid Ulster to maximise income to individuals, families, households. The advice is free at the point of delivery. Good quality advice and information is seen as a means of empowering individuals to make informed decisions and seeking to improve all aspects of someone's life. The need for advice support tends to be people who are experiencing hardship or deprivation or who have a lack of access to resources. The generalist voluntary advice sector can act as an advocate on behalf of the individual in an independent manner. The importance of generalist voluntary advice provision means that it is a high priority for central government and local Council
