Notice Title

Redundancy & Retraining in the West Midlands - Prototyping

Notice Description

We are looking to commission a design agency to support us to refine pre-identified opportunity areas, develop service concepts and prototype solutions with our target audience. We anticipate that prototyping will be conducted between September 2021 and January 2022. After this, Ageing Better will lead on the delivery of a pilot alongside West Midlands Combined Authority or another service delivery partner.
