Summary of the contracting process

Newry, Mourne and Down District Council is procuring a responsive peace-building programme for young people aged 12 to 18. The successful supplier will design, develop and deliver safe, supportive spaces where participants can explore challenging political and social issues through dialogue, learning and community engagement. The programme is intended to promote understanding and respect for diverse identities, while strengthening cross-community, cross-border and intergenerational relationships. This is a services requirement covering education and training, recreational, cultural and sporting activities, and wider community, social and personal services. Delivery is across the United Kingdom. The opportunity is relevant to organisations working with young people, peace-building, community development, education, dialogue or cultural engagement.

The procurement reached tender: the council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Enquiries closed on 4 September 2026 at 12:00, and the tender submission deadline was 14 September 2026 at 12:00. The contract is scheduled to run from 30 September 2026 to 31 December 2026. Its estimated value is £52,674.85 excluding VAT, or £63,209.82 including VAT. There is one lot. Bids are evaluated on quality at 80% and cost at 20%, with the detailed criteria set out in the tender documentation. Electronic submission is allowed. The requirement is under the light-touch regime and is below the relevant threshold.

This opportunity suits competent, creative suppliers able to design and deliver structured programmes for 12- to 18-year-olds. Strong candidates are likely to bring practical experience in youth work, peace-building, community engagement, education, facilitated dialogue or work involving political and social issues. The requirement calls for the ability to create safe and supportive environments, handle challenging discussions, and engage participants from diverse identities and communities. Experience developing cross-community, cross-border or intergenerational relationships would be directly relevant, as would methods that build understanding and respect. Both small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises are identified as suitable, making this accessible to specialist organisations as well as established programme providers.
