Summary of the contracting process

Newry, Mourne and Down District Council commissioned a social and emotional support programme using music and dance to bring generations together. The work covers seven programmes, one in each District Electoral Area across the council area. Each programme includes interactive workshops exploring how music and dance have changed over recent history, followed by a celebration such as a tea dance or music concert. This is a community-focused cultural and educational service, combining programme design and development with delivery of the workshops and events. The intended participants are people from different generations; the source does not define specific age groups. The council is the buying organisation, and delivery is across its district in Northern Ireland.

The procurement is complete and awarded following an open, below-threshold competition. Clanrye Group was selected, and the contract is active and signed. The award is dated 1 October 2026; the contract runs from 1 October 2026 to 31 August 2027. Its value is £39,744.08 excluding VAT (£47,692.90 including VAT). The original estimated procurement value was £43,750 excluding VAT (£52,500 including VAT). The tender deadline was 11 September 2026, and the deadline for questions was 4 September 2026. There was one lot, open to SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. Evaluation weighted project-specific questions at 80% and cost at 20%.

For suppliers considering similar future work for this council, the award indicates demand for a coordinated intergenerational programme rather than a one-off performance. A credible provider would need to design and develop a programme, run interactive music and dance workshops, and deliver a concluding community event across multiple local areas. Relevant strengths include inclusive community engagement across generations, practical event and workshop delivery, and the ability to explore local or wider musical and dance history in an accessible way. The award went to Clanrye Group, a large supplier based in Newry. SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises were eligible to compete, so organisations of those types with suitable delivery capacity and project-specific quality evidence could be relevant competitors.
