## Summary

Newry, Mourne and Down District Council is seeking a service provider to design, develop and deliver a responsive peace-building programme for young people aged 12 to 18. The programme will create safe, supportive spaces where participants can explore challenging political and social issues through dialogue, learning and community engagement. It is intended to build understanding and respect for diverse identities, while strengthening cross-community, cross-border and intergenerational relationships. The requirement covers education and training, recreational, cultural and sporting, and community, social and personal services. Delivery is in the United Kingdom, with the council based in Newry. This is a youth engagement and peace-building service rather than a construction, supply or infrastructure contract.

The process has reached tender: the council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. It is a light-touch services procurement with one lot. Enquiries had to be submitted by 4 September 2026 at 12:00, and offers by 10 September 2026 at 12:00. The contract is scheduled to run from 30 September to 31 December 2026. Its estimated value is £52,674.85 excluding tax, or £63,209.82 including tax. Evaluation is weighted 80% for quality and 20% for cost, with detailed criteria set out in the tender documentation. Electronic submission is allowed. Suppliers must access the opportunity through MultiQuote and register there if they do not already have an account.

This opportunity suits competent, creative organisations that can design and deliver structured youth programmes for 12 to 18-year-olds. Relevant capability includes facilitating safe dialogue about difficult political and social issues, supporting learning and community engagement, and working sensitively with diverse identities and communities. Suppliers should be able to build relationships across community, cross-border and intergenerational settings, and translate peace-building aims into practical activities that engage young people. The requirement is marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and for voluntary, community and social enterprises, so it may fit specialist youth-work, education, cultural, recreational, community-development or peace-building providers. The short delivery period favours organisations with prompt mobilisation and available delivery capacity.
