UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Lisburn and Castlereagh City Council is seeking a delivery organisation to develop and run the Celebrating Us programme under the PEACEPLUS theme Celebrating Cultures and Diversity. The work combines community action with programme and project management, and may suit organisations experienced in delivering initiatives that bring communities together and celebrate cultural diversity. The council welcomes partnership bids from organisations working in related sectors or areas of expertise. Delivery is in Lisburn and Castlereagh, Northern Ireland.

The council invited offers through an open procedure. The procurement is for one lot, with an estimated value of £290,506.80 including VAT. The contract period is 14 December 2026 to 31 May 2028. Questions were due by 20 November 2026 at 12:00, and bids by 27 November 2026 at 12:00; the anticipated award decision date was 4 December 2026. Bids had to be submitted through the eTendersNI portal. Evaluation gives quality a 90% weighting and price 10%.

This opportunity is suited to a delivery organisation with practical experience designing and delivering community programmes focused on culture and diversity. The council expressly welcomes partnership bids, so organisations with complementary expertise in relevant sectors can combine their capabilities. Suppliers should be able to manage programme delivery and engage communities in activities that celebrate different cultures. The requirement is a substantial, multi-year programme rather than a one-off activity, favouring providers with the capacity to plan and deliver sustained work. The stated evaluation places much greater emphasis on quality than price, making the strength and credibility of the proposed delivery approach particularly important.
