The work is a community-led creative programme for women from the Mourne District Electoral Area, using creative writing and filmmaking to develop and amplify their voices. It will culminate in an original 20-minute film made by participants and a festival programme in which participants select films reflecting rural women’s lives internationally. The requirement combines community development, education and training, cultural programming, creative writing, filmmaking and festival delivery. Delivery is centred on the Mourne area of Newry, Mourne and Down, with international perspectives and participation in the film programme. The procurement reached tender: the council invited offers through an open procedure. The tender was published on 16 September 2026, with submissions due by 12:00 on 14 October 2026. The contract is scheduled to run from 30 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its estimated value is £21,790. The requirement is a single service package rather than a set of separately described lots. The contract covers the full design, development and delivery of the creative programme and associated international film festival activity. The procurement is classified as community, social and personal services, with related education, training, cultural and recreational services. Small and medium-sized enterprises are identified as suitable suppliers. This opportunity suits a small consultancy or creative organisation able to manage a community-led arts and media project from development through delivery. Relevant capability includes engaging and supporting rural women, facilitating creative writing, delivering participatory filmmaking, and helping inexperienced participants produce an original short film. Suppliers should also be able to curate or coordinate an international film programme, work with films about rural women from different countries, and deliver a public festival linked to a wider equality and community objective. Strong project management, workshop facilitation, safeguarding awareness, creative production skills and the capacity to coordinate participants, partners, screenings and communications will be important. Organisations combining community development and cultural production experience are particularly well placed to compete. ## Notice Competent Consultancy companies are hereby invited to tender to design, develop and deliver NMANDD PEACEPLUS Mourne International Film Festival Project; Rural Women's Voices.
