What is being bought

Published requirement description

The Community Empowerment project aims to build the capacity of local communities across North, East, South and West Belfast, strengthening civic voice and community participation in issues that affect them. It will target individuals with an interest in helping shape the future of their local area with respect to community cohesion, good relations, the physical landscape, infrastructural developments, service provision, partnership working and collaboration.

It will involve 1,000 people over three years in a variety of activities: 10 tailored local community empowerment programmes addressing gaps and needs, an accredited leadership programme, a non-accredited series of training workshops, a community capacity building forum and best practice visits and learning events.

This project forms parts of the Belfast PEACEPLUS Local Community Action Plan, which is supported by PEACEPLUS, a programme managed by the Special EU Programmes Body (SEUPB).

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
