## Summary

Derry City and Strabane District Council, in collaboration with the European Union, sought suppliers for the PeacePlus War and Peace project, which focuses on community action programmes. This procurement process, classified under CPV code 85322000 (Community action programme), involved services aimed at both the heritage led restoration of war memorials and engaging the community through educational activities. The project was divided into two lots: "Cross Community Programming" and "Historical Research and Interpretation for Panels". The tender, conducted via an open procedure, commenced its award stage on 21st November 2024. The "Cross Community Programming" lot, valued at £99,000, was awarded to the Rural Area Partnership in Derry Limited, while the "Historical Research and Interpretation for Panels" lot remained unsuccessful.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses that specialise in community engagement, educational programming, and historical research. Companies with expertise in conducting community-based initiatives, as well as those proficient in historical research, collation of data, and creating interpretative content, will find this project highly suitable. The focus on ethical remembrance and fostering inclusive dialogue emphasises the need for businesses that can navigate sensitive cultural and historical contexts, ensuring that the project contributes to the council's broader aims of community regeneration and heritage preservation. This initiative not only fosters business growth through contract acquisition but also enhances the reputation of participating companies as key contributors to significant local development projects.

## Notice

Derry City and Strabane District Council invite suppliers to tender for PeacePlus War and Peace. Derry City and Strabane District Council's Regeneration Team have secured funding under the council's Local Co-Designed PEACEPLUS Action Plan. Capital elements of this project will be directly delivered by the council, including the heritage led restoration and repair of 4 district war memorials (Derry~Londonderry, Strabane, Castlederg, Sion Mills). Alongside these capital works, council is tendering for two external elements to be delivered: Lot 1: Cross-Community Programming. This will be a community-based activity programme to improve shared understanding of the cultural and historical importance of the monuments and the history of that era. It will be mindful of the principles of shared and ethical remembrance to promote dialogue, inclusive of a range of perspectives, on the context of the wider history of that era. Audiences will include young people in schools and adults in the wider community. Lot 2: Historical Research and Interpretation for panels. This will work closely with a cross-community grouping of participants with a particular interest / specialism in local history. Through this community engagement it will conduct historical research, collate, provide information and interpretation for 4 interpretative panels (one at each site). Trails and digital information should be included. (Actual panel design, construction and installation is not included as council will do this directly). Arising from the Co-design process at a district level, this project should strive to bring key benefit across the council area including rural and urban areas. Please refer to the CfT documents for further detail.
