Summary of the contracting process

Derry City and Strabane District Council, working through its Local Economic Partnership, is seeking a delivery partner to help develop and implement a Community Wealth Building programme across the Derry City and Strabane District Council area. The programme aims to support inclusive economic growth, retain more wealth locally and help reduce economic disparities. Community Wealth Building focuses on strengthening local economies through greater community ownership and control of local assets, wealth and economic opportunities. The work is a blend of business and management consultancy, market and social research, and related programme delivery services. It is intended to support economic development across the city and district, rather than the supply of a physical product.

The buyer invited offers through an open procedure. The procurement is divided into one lot. The estimated value is £430,000 including VAT. The contract period is 29 January 2027 to 29 January 2029. The buyer set 6 November 2026 at 12:00 UTC as the deadline for enquiries and 20 November 2026 at 12:00 UTC as the deadline for submissions. The stated deadline for the award decision is 11 January 2027. Evaluation gives quality a 90% weighting and cost 10%. Bids are to be submitted electronically through eTendersNI, in English. The procurement reached the tender stage, at which the council invited suppliers to submit offers.

The requirement is suited to a delivery organisation with expertise in local economic development and the design and implementation of community wealth building programmes. Relevant capabilities include supporting inclusive growth, strengthening local wealth retention, and working with communities around ownership and control of local assets and economic opportunities. The council is open to a suitably qualified individual delivery partner, a consortium, or specialist providers working together. This makes the opportunity relevant to consultancies and research providers able to contribute to programme development as well as delivery, including organisations with complementary expertise. Suppliers should be able to work across the Derry City and Strabane District Council area and connect economic development activity with the programme’s aims of building stronger, fairer and more resilient local economies.
