The brief

Derry City and Strabane District Council (DCSDC) invites suitably qualified organisations, to deliver a Rural Community Resources and Services Audit within the three Rural District Electoral Areas (DEAs) of the Council area, namely Sperrin, Derg and Faughan.

Derry City and Strabane District Council is committed to supporting Community and Voluntary Sector organisations within the three rural DEAs by providing an independent, external, dedicated Rural Community Development Support Service that complements Council’s existing Community Development work within the three rural DEAs.

The service provides additionality and delivers shared outcomes that strengthen and sustain the three rural DEAs.

DCSDC seeks to appoint a suitably qualified and experienced independent organisation to undertake Phase 2 of this process.

This will involve developing a comprehensive analysis and in-depth report across the three rural DEAs as part of the Rural Community Resources and Services Audit.

Your submission must be submitted via etendersNI, via this CFT.

No other method of submissions will be accepted.

Please refer to the CfT documents for further detail.
