UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Newry, Mourne and Down District Council is seeking consultancy services to design, develop and deliver the PEACEPLUS Minority Community Integration Programme, “Colours of Asia”. The work will celebrate Holi, the Hindu Festival of Colours, through a structured programme of interactive workshops and celebration activities. Delivery will be carried out in partnership with the Indian community in the Crotlieve District Electoral Area, in Northern Ireland. The requirement sits across cultural and recreational services, education and training, and community, social and personal services. It is suited to organisations able to combine community engagement, cultural programming, consultation and event or workshop delivery in a way that supports minority community integration.

The council has reached the tender stage and invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. This is a single service requirement, with electronic submission allowed. Questions could be submitted until 7 October 2026 at 12:00 noon, and tender responses were due by 14 October 2026 at 12:00 noon. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 December 2026 to 30 April 2027. Its estimated value is £10,153.62 excluding VAT, or £12,184.34 including VAT. Tenders are evaluated primarily on the quality of the proposed approach: project-specific questions carry 80% of the score, while cost carries 20%. The opportunity is subject to the light-touch regime and is below the applicable threshold.

The requirement suits competent consultancy companies with experience of designing and delivering structured community, cultural or inclusion programmes. Strong bidders will be able to develop an engaging programme around Holi, plan and facilitate interactive workshops, organise celebration activities and work constructively with the Indian community in Crotlieve. The quality-led evaluation means the proposed methodology, understanding of the community context, delivery plan and evidence of outcomes are likely to be more important than offering the lowest price. The council identifies the opportunity as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so it may suit specialist consultancies, community organisations and cultural delivery partners with relevant experience and the capacity to deliver the full programme.
