Summary of the contracting process

Newry, Mourne and Down District Council is procuring a social and emotional intergenerational support programme centred on music and dance. The appointed consultancy company will design, develop and deliver seven programmes, with one programme in each District Electoral Area across the Council area. Activities will include interactive workshops exploring how music and dance have changed and evolved through recent history, followed by an end-of-programme celebration such as a tea dance or music concert. This is a community, cultural and educational service, covering recreational, cultural and sporting services, education and training, and community, social and personal services. Delivery will take place across the Newry, Mourne and Down District Council area in Northern Ireland.

The process reached tender: the Council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition under the light-touch services regime. There is one lot. The estimated value is £43,750 excluding VAT and £52,500 including VAT. The contract period is 2 November 2026 to 31 August 2027. Potential suppliers could submit enquiries until 4 September 2026 at 12:00, and offers were due by 11 September 2026 at 12:00. Evaluation is weighted 80% to project-specific questions and 20% to cost. Electronic submission is allowed, with tender access and submission arranged through MultiQuote. The opportunity is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This opportunity suits consultancy companies able to design and deliver inclusive intergenerational programmes using music and dance. Strong candidates will need practical experience developing participatory workshops, engaging people from different generations, and explaining how cultural activities have changed through recent history. They should also be able to organise and deliver seven separate programmes across the Council area, one in each District Electoral Area, while coordinating a suitable closing celebration such as a tea dance or concert. The requirement will favour suppliers with community engagement, education, cultural programming and event-delivery capabilities, together with the capacity to manage delivery across multiple local areas. Both SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises are identified as suitable participants.
