Summary of the contracting process

Derry City and Strabane District Council is inviting suppliers to tender for the "PeacePlus A Centre of Hope" project, which falls under the services category and is classified as a Community Action Programme. This initiative aims to develop a mental health community arts programme centred on building a culture of Hope in the Castlederg area. The key purpose is to bolster community relations by providing shared safe spaces and enhancing social wellbeing. The procurement process is currently active, with an open procedure in place. Suppliers must submit their bids electronically by 22nd November 2024. The contract, valued at £52,048, will commence shortly after the tender period ends.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in community programmes, mental health services, and social wellbeing initiatives. Ideal candidates would be organisations experienced in delivering community-focused arts and mental health programmes, particularly in rural and cross-border regions with challenging histories. Participation in this project would allow businesses to contribute to significant social change, helping to increase community resilience and wellbeing in an area still affected by the aftermath of The Troubles and recent socio-economic challenges. Such engagement not only supports regional development but also bolsters the business's profile and potential for future contracts within the public sector.

Notice Title

T24-127BUS PEACEPLUS A Centre of Hope

Notice Description

Derry City and Strabane District Council invite suppliers to tender for PeacePlus A Centre of Hope. This tender is a focused mental health community arts programme centred on Hope and building a culture of Hope. It also aims to build stronger community relations in welcoming shared spaces. The Co-Design process identified a need for this under the Social Wellbeing pillar of the Local Growth Partnership Strategy for the Castlederg area. Increasingly, research is finding that Hope is a teachable skill based on key building blocks and positive actions and relationships. By creating, building and maintaining Hope, this project will empower adult participants to live longer healthy and fulfilling lives within a shared safe and inclusive community. The Castlederg and surrounding rural and cross-border area has a difficult history relating to The 'Troubles'. The atrocities perpetrated by those claiming to represent each community remain in living memory of much of the adult population, which in turn can impact on trans-generational trauma. Whilst positive initiatives have helped to build cross-community relationships in recent years, there is still scope to improve further. More recently, the impact of the Covid pandemic, lockdown and cost of living crisis has created uncertainty, fear and worry. A sense of hopelessness has emerged. Tensions around BREXIT have compounded this. The Co-design process identified that there is a risk that the negativity associated with this sense of hopelessness may adversely impact on community relations. This project is therefore designed to create Hope, reconnect the community and help to alleviate adverse impacts caused by issues beyond the immediate control of those in the community. The project aims to have a positive effect initially in the adult (and possibly younger age groups) population of Castlederg, but with the understanding that hope can spread to the wider community, impacting constructively on wellbeing, purpose, prosperity and positive cross community relations. Please refer to the CfT documents for further detail.
