## Summary

Newry, Mourne and Down District Council, on behalf of the Dublin Belfast Economic Corridor Partnership, is seeking consultancy services to develop an Investment Land Guide. The guide is intended to strengthen the corridor’s proposition to investors by setting out investment land opportunities. The work combines business development, business analysis and research consultancy. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. The requirement is for a suitably qualified and experienced consultant to produce the guide; the published scope does not specify particular sites, sectors or planned outputs beyond that purpose. This opportunity is suited to firms that can bring together investment-focused research and analysis with the ability to present land opportunities in a way that supports the corridor’s economic development aims.

The buyer invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. There is one lot, and the published evaluation gives quality an 80% weighting and price 20%, with detailed criteria set out in the RFQ documentation. The deadline for questions was 26 October 2026 at 12:00 UTC, and the submission deadline was 30 October 2026 at 12:00 UTC. The contract period is 30 November 2026 to 31 March 2027. The estimated value is £25,000 excluding VAT and £30,000 including VAT. Electronic submission is allowed. The lot is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This is a small, focused consultancy assignment rather than a large delivery contract. It may suit an SME or a voluntary, community or social enterprise with relevant consulting experience, particularly in investment promotion, business development, economic analysis or research. The buyer explicitly seeks a suitably qualified and experienced consultant, so suppliers should be able to demonstrate credible expertise in producing an investment land guide and translating research into a clear proposition for investors. The work calls for analytical capability and an understanding of how land opportunities can support regional economic development. The published requirement does not prescribe specific professional accreditations, staffing levels or technical systems, leaving firms to show how their skills and approach meet the RFQ’s quality requirements.
