## Summary

The Executive Office (TEO) is seeking proposals for the "Addressing Exploitation Programme" in the Derry / Londonderry Communities in Transition (CIT) area, specifically within the Brandywell and Creggan regions. This procurement falls under the services category "Other community, social and personal services". The tender is currently in the active stage and follows an open competition method below the threshold, with a contract value grossing £180,000. Interested parties must submit proposals by 14 April 2025 at 12:00 PM, with enquiries accepted until 10 April 2025 at 5:00 PM. The contract is set to commence on 23 April 2025 and could extend up to 31 March 2027 based on need and performance.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses involved in community services, social work, and safety projects. Companies with expertise in addressing exploitation, building community resilience, and collaborating with statutory and voluntary bodies will find the contract particularly relevant. The Programme's objectives require strengthening community ties and capabilities to counter exploitation, thereby empowering the community and reducing vulnerability to paramilitary controls. Such a contract is highly suitable for SMEs (small and medium enterprises) and VCSE (voluntary, community and social enterprises) organisations, encouraging innovative approaches and grassroots involvement in community safeguarding initiatives.

## Notice

The Executive Office (TEO) is seeking to establish a Contract for the provision of an Addressing Exploitation programme within the Derry / Londonderry CIT Area; this relates to the Brandywell and Creggan (maps of the designated areas are attached at Annex A of the Specification). This programme will facilitate building a resilient community through a participatory community approach, advocating collaboration with statutory, community and voluntary bodies responsible for maintaining safety in our communities, to increase the number of individuals and organisations working to create safe communities and improve the capabilities of those already working to create safe communities. The core purpose of this programme is multi-fold: * To raise awareness and educate the community on the various forms of exploitation which may be impacting on their community (this includes sexual, child criminal and monetary); * To build trust and understanding between the communities and statutory agencies (primarily response services) working in this field, with the aim of encouraging meaningful relationships so they can work better together to eliminate/minimise exploitation in their community; * To encourage / empower communities to take a proactive role in improving community safety in their area; and * Support those who are victims of exploitation and reduce the number of people who are vulnerable to paramilitary influence and control The Contractor must not be delivering general community safety activities as part of this programme, activities must be clearly linked to addressing exploitation issues which have arisen as a result of living in a community with high levels of paramilitary activity, criminality and organised crime and, to the Benefits Framework (as listed at paragraph 6.6 of the Specification). This should take into account the aims of the CIT Project and the overall Executive Action Plan on Tackling Paramilitary Activity, Criminality and Organised Crime.
