Summary of the contracting process

Newry, Mourne and Down District Council is seeking an integrated consultancy team for the extension of Struell Cemetery in Downpatrick. The assignment will support the expansion of burial capacity and associated infrastructure within a working cemetery environment. The consultant will provide technical and civil engineering consultancy, design, procurement support and contract administration, enabling the scheme to be developed, procured and delivered in a coordinated and efficient way. The services must address the Council’s programme, budget and operational requirements while maintaining appropriate standards during cemetery operations. The work is categorised as construction and civil engineering consultancy services. Delivery is at Struell Cemetery, Downpatrick, for the Council as the public-sector buyer.

The procurement has reached tender: the Council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. The deadline for enquiries was 24 July 2026 at 12:00, and the deadline for tender submissions is 31 July 2026 at 12:00. Electronic submission is allowed. The contract is planned to run from 10 August 2026 to 31 March 2028. The estimated value is £40,000 excluding VAT, or £48,000 including VAT. There is one lot covering the full consultancy requirement. Tenders will be evaluated on price weighted at 70% and quality weighted at 30%, with the detailed requirements set out in the invitation-to-tender documentation.

This opportunity suits an integrated consultancy practice able to combine civil engineering, technical design, procurement and contract administration expertise. Suppliers should be capable of developing a cemetery extension and associated infrastructure, supporting procurement, coordinating delivery and administering the resulting contract. Experience of managing projects in a working cemetery or similarly operational public environment would be relevant, particularly where construction activity must be planned around ongoing services and operational constraints. The requirement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises, so it may suit smaller multidisciplinary firms or collaborative teams with the necessary range of skills. Businesses should be able to work to the Council’s programme, budget and operational requirements.
