## Summary

Newry, Mourne and Down District Council is procuring a culturally focused integration programme for Key Stage 3 pupils in the Slieve Croob District Electoral Area, Northern Ireland. The work is intended to bring together young people from diverse cultural backgrounds, including minority ethnic communities, to promote inclusion, intercultural understanding and positive relationships. It covers the design and delivery of the programme, including after-school activity, and falls within cultural, educational, training and community services. The requirement is aimed at consultancy organisations able to plan and deliver this type of youth-focused, culturally sensitive integration work for the council.

The procurement has reached the tender stage: the council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. It comprises one lot and is being run under the light-touch services regime. Enquiries had to be submitted by 25 September 2026 at 12:00, and offers were due by 1 October 2026 at 12:00. The contract period is 15 October to 31 December 2026. The estimated value is £10,153.62 excluding tax, or £12,184.34 including tax. Offers are evaluated on quality at 80% and cost at 20%. Electronic submission is allowed. The lot is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This opportunity suits a consultancy organisation with experience in designing and delivering culturally focused integration programmes for young people, particularly Key Stage 3 pupils in an after-school setting. Relevant providers will need to work effectively with participants from diverse cultural backgrounds, including minority ethnic communities, and support inclusion, intercultural understanding and positive relationships. The requirement is also relevant to organisations delivering cultural, educational, training or community services. Small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises are explicitly considered suitable. The high quality weighting means the strength and relevance of the proposed programme, delivery approach and expected contribution to integration will be central to competing successfully.
