Summary of the contracting process

Newry, Mourne and Down District Council is commissioning an Arabic Language and Cultural Heritage Programme under PEACEPLUS “Thriving Together”. The work is an education, training, community and cultural service for children from Arabic-speaking, Arabic-heritage and wider local community backgrounds across the Newry, Mourne and Down area. The appointed consultancy organisation will design and deliver interactive Arabic language-learning activities, storytelling, creative arts, cultural exploration and educational workshops. The programme is intended to support engagement with children and communities through accessible cultural learning. Delivery is across the Newry, Mourne and Down area in the United Kingdom, with the council acting as the buyer. This is a service opportunity suited to organisations combining language education with cultural, community or children’s engagement work.

The process reached tender: the council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. It is a single-lot procurement under the light-touch regime. Questions could be submitted until 19 August 2026 at 12:00, and tenders were due by 26 August 2026 at 12:00. Electronic submission was allowed. The contract period set by the buyer is 14 September to 31 December 2026. The estimated value is £10,155 excluding VAT and £12,186 including VAT. Evaluation is weighted 80% quality and 20% price, with the detailed criteria set out in the request for quotation documentation. The opportunity uses the reference RFQ 2026/27 and covers the complete programme rather than separate service packages.

This opportunity suits a competent consultancy organisation able to design and deliver structured Arabic language and cultural heritage activities for children. Relevant providers may include language-learning specialists, cultural organisations, community education bodies, arts and creative-learning practitioners, and organisations with experience engaging Arabic-speaking, Arabic-heritage and wider local communities. Strong candidates will be able to combine interactive teaching, storytelling, creative arts, cultural exploration and educational workshops into a coherent programme, and demonstrate the capacity to deliver across the Newry, Mourne and Down area during the specified delivery period. The procurement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so smaller specialist providers and community-focused organisations are well placed to compete.
