Summary of the contracting process

Newry, Mourne and Down District Council is seeking a provider to design and deliver a district-wide behaviour-change programme for young adults aged 18 to 24. The programme, called Impact: Choices and Consequences, will explore personal choices, consequences, antisocial behaviour and the criminal justice system. Delivery will use interactive drama, scenario-based learning and a professionally produced documentary film. This is a public service programme combining education and training with community, social and personal services, and may also involve health, social work, cultural and recreational activity. The work is intended for communities across the Newry, Mourne and Down district in Northern Ireland, with the appointed provider responsible for developing and delivering the programme and its associated film.

The council has reached the tender stage and invited offers through a below-threshold open competition under the light-touch services regime. Questions had to be submitted by 25 September 2026 at 12:00, and offers were due by 30 September 2026 at 12:00. Electronic submission was allowed through the buyer’s specified procurement platform. The single contract is planned to run from 21 October 2026 to 30 September 2027. Its estimated value is £91,052 excluding VAT, or £109,262.40 including VAT. Evaluation is weighted 80% to quality and 20% to cost, with the detailed criteria set out in the tender documentation. The opportunity is identified as suitable for both SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This opportunity suits an experienced organisation able to design and run behaviour-change work for 18-to-24-year-olds, particularly providers combining youth engagement, education, community development or social support. Bidders need the practical capability to use interactive drama and scenario-based learning to address antisocial behaviour, decision-making and contact with the criminal justice system. The requirement also calls for professional documentary production, so relevant film-making, directing, production and safeguarding arrangements will be important. Strong candidates are likely to have experience delivering participatory programmes across a district or similarly broad area, engaging young adults and community partners, and turning complex social issues into accessible learning. SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises are expressly identified as suitable suppliers.
