The requirement is construction consultancy services covering the design of the proposed route and its associated development proposal. The work is for the council’s regeneration programme and is focused on the Downpatrick–Ardglass corridor in Northern Ireland. The named service category is construction consultancy, suited to firms that can bring together the architectural, engineering, planning and other specialist disciplines needed to develop a public active-travel scheme. The procurement was run as a mini-competition under the council’s regeneration framework, Lot 1, rather than as a standalone requirement. The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Collins Rolston Architects Ltd on 21 September 2026. The awarded value is £98,000. The contract runs from 21 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. It was conducted as an open procedure and as a mini-competition under the BCC Regeneration Framework, Lot 1. The original tender deadline was 20 September 2026. The requirement was classified as a services procurement for construction consultancy and was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The selected supplier is responsible for the integrated consultancy service to design the greenway proposal connecting Downpatrick, Killough and Ardglass. This award shows that Newry, Mourne and Down District Council is buying integrated consultancy capability to develop strategic greenway and active-travel infrastructure proposals. A credible future competitor would need to coordinate the disciplines required for public route design, combine architectural and construction consultancy expertise, and turn an early transport or regeneration concept into a deliverable proposal. Experience of working with local authorities, regeneration programmes, public consultation, planning interfaces and multidisciplinary design teams would strengthen a firm’s position. The requirement was considered suitable for SMEs, so a smaller specialist consultancy may be competitive either as a lead consultant or as part of an integrated team. The council’s use of a regeneration framework and mini-competition also makes framework access and effective call-off participation commercially relevant. ## Notice The Client invites tenders to provide the service for an Integrated Consultancy Team (ICT) to design a proposal for a new Greenway Route from Downpatrick to Ardglass via Killough To access this competition: Registered: Login to https://suppliers.multiquote.com and view the opportunity CA17925.
