Summary of the contracting process

Derry City and Strabane District Council has completed the tender process for the PEACEPLUS Be Wild project, an extensive community action programme detailed under CPV code 85322000. This two-year initiative focuses on equine and nature-facilitated assisted learning and development sessions, benefiting 138 participants from the Faughan District Electoral Area and broader council zones. The project aligns with the Local Co-Designed Action Plan under the Thriving and Peaceful Communities Theme, emphasizing mental health and inclusive outdoor activities. The tender was conducted via an open procedure with Gortilea Social Farm CIC being awarded the contract, valued at £95,760. The key contract was signed on 6th September 2024, and will be operational till the summer of 2027.

This tender represents significant growth opportunities for businesses specializing in holistic and nature-based therapies, particularly those offering equine-assisted services. Renowned for its alignment to inclusive community benefits and mental well-being interventions, it is well-suited for enterprises involving occupational therapists and rural health practitioners. The project’s integrated, cross-community focus engages a diverse participant base, creating progressive market opportunities for small and medium enterprises dedicated to community health, therapeutic interventions, and environmental educational services. The emphasis on quality (90%) over cost (10%) in the awarding criteria underscores the high standard and impact expected of service providers.

Notice Title

T24-061BUS PEACEPLUS Be Wild

Notice Description

Derry City and Strabane District Council invite suppliers to tender for PeacePlus Be Wild. The project is a 2-year cross-community programme of equine and nature facilitated assisted learning and development sessions. It will reach 138 participants and will include interventions for children and their parents focusing on the holistic benefits of occupations with horses, their natural environment and their natural movement (hippotherapy). The Programme will also include some wider, outdoor and environmental intergenerational opportunities. The co-design process highlighted the need for mental health and wellbeing outdoor activities as well as an inclusive approach for participants with disabilities. Hippotherapy and outdoor rural based nature activities are part of the Local Co-Designed Action Plan's approach to meeting these needs. A horse's natural gait provides sensory input to enable regulation, supports the development of the human systems and encourages holistic well-being. A person-centred approach will be utilised to deliver functional information by an occupational therapist specialising in equine and nature-based therapy through information and practical sessions with horses and collaboration with other relevant organisations. The wider programme will also enable families and rural dwellers, in particular from the Faughan area, to benefit from the PEACEPLUS programme. Arising from the Co-design process in the Faughan District Electoral Area (DEA), this project should strive to bring key benefit to that area as well as welcoming participants from across the council area and cross-border. This project is under Thriving and Peaceful Communities Theme. Please refer to the CfT documents for further detail.
