2.1 Procedure

Title : T24-122BUS PEACEPLUS Be Driven Project
Description : Derry City and Strabane District Council invite suppliers to tender for a PeacePlus Be Driven project. This project focuses on a Driver Training Programme, designed to enhance capacity and connectivity in the rural District Electoral Areas (DEAs) of Faughan, Sperrin, and Derg. These areas currently face a significant challenge due to the shortage of qualified mini-bus drivers, which hinders accessible transportation for residents. This initiative aims to address this gap by training six individuals (ideally three men and three women) specifically in obtaining a D1 driving license, thereby enhancing their driving skills and creating a pool of qualified drivers to better serve the community. Once the initial training has been completed, the project will widen to ensure a minimum total of 78 participants are engaged in the project on a cross-community basis. One or more of the trainee drivers, having obtained their D1 licence, will be employed to facilitate transporting of isolated rural participants to engage in cross-community activities, events, workshops, history, heritage and cultural diversity experiences. Arising from the Co-design process in the Rural District Electoral Area’s of Sperrin, Faughan and Derg, this was highlighted as a key project underpinning rural engagement holistically in wider PEACEPLUS activity and should strive to bring key benefits and connectivity to these rural areas. This project is under the Thriving Peaceful Communities Theme. Please refer to the etenders CfT documents for further detail.
