II.1.4)Short description:

This tender is a key Peace IV community based project to positively impact young people Age 11-14 (Key Stage 3/Early secondary school) for peace and reconciliation.

Separated geographically into 3 lots, the tenders collectively cover the entire council area, with a deliberate over-representation in areas which need to maximise benefit from the Peace IV Programme as a whole. Cross-border participants and programming are welcomed, particularly from those lots which geographically border County Donegal. Each of these areas are unique and the programme should be tailored to impact their different issues impinging on cross-community contact and peace and reconciliation. Equally all 3 areas will benefit from investment in sustained cross-community youth programmes.

Each lot must recruit and sustain a minimum of 100 participants on a cross-community basis to a sustained reconciliation focused programme of approximately 1 year (minimum 6 months, 26 hours contact time).

II.2.4)Description of the procurement:

Key Project Components in each lot:

Each lot in the tender has 3 key phases:

Tender in each lot must deliver in phases over 6 months minimum but ideally 1 year with a finale event in 2020 (Approximately September 2018 – June 2020) as follows:

Phase 1: Set up

— Establish staffing and/or project management structures.

— Finalise an agreed cross-community programme.

This will include networking with local communities, relevant organisations and young people to promote the project and finalise any tailoring of project (or sub-division of projects) to meet local needs and interests.

— Launch the programme formally with appropriate community engagement, press release and publicity.

— Recruit a minimum of 100 young people aged 11-14 to participate.

Recruiting more than the minimum target will be a positive. The programme may have several elements, but each element must be cross-community and must ensure participants engage for a minimum of 26 hours spread over 6 months, ideally more. It is estimated however that to meet all the programme elements may require 40 hours contact time. The approach/methodology used within the programme is at the discretion of the tenderer but must ensure a positive impact on the 14 Peace IV Specific Target Outcomes. The programme should build in at least a 15 % attrition rate (ie. Recruit a minimum of 116 participants to ensure at least 100 complete the full sustained programme 26 hour/6 month requirement). Please note that participants already registered with other projects on the council’s local peace programme are welcome to participate, but cannot be counted as participants as duplication is not allowed. These participants collectively must cover the cross-community requirement of reasonably balanced PUL/CNR/BME representation outlined below.

Phase 2: Delivery

— Manage, promote and deliver sustained cross-community programme with level of contact to SEUPB requirement and with content which clearly focuses on Peace and Reconciliation and establishing cross-community friendships.

— Ensure target participants and cross-community targets are reached.

— Ensure monitoring and evaluation requirements are met.

— Ensure communications requirements are met.

Phase 3: Completion.

— Monitor and evaluate the completed programme.

— Collate learning from the programme specific to their lot in a format which is useful to the local community for future work/sustainability as well as feedback to the funder.

— Produce a short digital media element with appropriate consent in place for participants (eg. 3-5 minute film of project highlights and learning) which can be showcased at the end of the project and provided to the funder for communications purposes.

— Delivery an end of project final event/celebration for participants to share their learning and achievements with a wider audience.
