The appointed consultancy company will design, develop and deliver seven music and dance programmes, with one programme in each District Electoral Area across the council area. The work will use interactive workshops to explore how music and dance have changed and developed through recent history, bringing different generations together. Each programme will conclude with a celebration event, such as a tea dance or music concert. This is a community, cultural, education and training service, suited to organisations experienced in delivering participatory arts, intergenerational activity, social and emotional support, or related community programmes across the Newry, Mourne and Down area. The procurement has reached tender: the council invited suppliers to submit offers through an open procedure. The deadline for submissions was 11 September 2026 at 12:00.
