T24-089BUS PEACEPLUS War and Peace

Description

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.
