Summary of the contracting process

Newry, Mourne and Down District Council is procuring services to design, coordinate and deliver the PEACEPLUS Progressive Conflict Resolution Programme across the United Kingdom. The requirement covers education and training, community and social services, and related cultural or recreational activity. The appointed supplier will develop the programme structure, methodology and content, and provide its delivery. It must also support monitoring and evaluation, including attendance tracking, participant feedback and reporting of outcomes in line with funder requirements. This is a public-sector service opportunity for organisations working in conflict resolution, mediation, facilitation, community development or related training and programme delivery. The council is the buyer and the work is classified as a light-touch service requirement.

The procurement has reached tender: the council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Suppliers could submit electronic offers, with enquiries due by 28 September 2026 at 12:00 and tenders due by 5 October 2026 at 12:00. The contract is scheduled to run from 2 November 2026 to 31 August 2027. It has one lot, with an estimated value of £52,674 excluding VAT and £63,208.80 including VAT. Offers will be evaluated on 80% project-specific questions and 20% cost. The tender is subject to the light-touch regime. Access and submission arrangements use the MultiQuote supplier portal, where suppliers must register if they do not already have an account.

This opportunity suits SMEs, voluntary, community and social enterprises, as well as established training and conflict-resolution providers. Strong candidates will be able to design a coherent programme and explain its structure, methodology and content in detail. They will need facilitators with relevant qualifications in facilitation and mediation, supported by experience in a relevant subject area. Suppliers should also be able to coordinate delivery, manage participant attendance, collect feedback and produce outcome reports that meet funder requirements. The requirement is therefore suited to organisations combining practical mediation or facilitation expertise with programme management, community engagement and robust monitoring and evaluation. A credible delivery team and evidence of relevant experience will be important in answering the project-specific questions.
