Summary of the contracting process

The Centre for Ageing Better Limited is currently seeking proposals for a project titled "Community Based Support - Research and Evidence Review". This initiative is focused on research and development services, specifically within the context of community-based support for older individuals. The procurement process is at the Tender stage, with an open procurement method, and the tender period is set to close on 30th January 2019. The total contract value is estimated at £65,000, with a minimum value of £50,000. The contract will commence on 25th February 2019 and run until 30th November 2019, with delivery locations including the United Kingdom and other territories.

This tender presents significant opportunities for growth, particularly for businesses specialising in research and community services. Companies with expertise in social sciences, community engagement, and intervention strategies for older adults would be well-positioned to compete. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to apply, as the project aims to expand the evidence base for community-led models, potentially leading to further contracts and partnerships in the health and social care sectors.

Notice Title

Community Based Support - Research and Evidence Review

Notice Description

Ageing Better has established a strategic partnership with Leeds City Council and Leeds Older People's Forum, working together across a range of topics. Leeds is committed to becoming a great place to grow old in, and we believe that one of the contributors to this ambition is their ability to build on an existing resource - the Leeds Neighbourhood Network (LNN). Both we and stakeholders in Leeds believe the LNN is a good example of an asset based preventative and community led approach. We anticipate that models of community-based support like the LNN can contribute to individual outcomes (e.g. social connections and health), neighbourhood outcomes (e.g. social capital and inclusive communities) and system level outcomes (e.g. health and care system). But, to date there is very little evidence about the LNN. The only evidence we have found is an initial Cost Benefit Analysis by Nuffield Trust, some small-scale research by IPPR/Gulbenkian in 2014 and a case study by SCIE in a report on strength based social work and the 2014 Care act. Ageing Better wishes to contribute to and build upon the existing evidence base on forms of community-based support for older people, and we are currently scoping out a major evaluation of the LNN. We have already completed an initial scoping of this work (during May - September 2018) and during this time we established a local steering group for the evaluation, gained a good understanding of the network, the variety of models and approaches across the network, the range of individual, social and system wide outcomes it seeks to influence, and agreed five sets of evaluation questions to address through the evaluation. As a result, we have a broad architecture for a theory-based evaluation that we are looking to commission in 2019. To inform the development of our evaluation of LNN we are commissioning this research project, which will provide us with a better understanding of the policy, practice and funding context along with an understanding of the existing evidence for community approaches like the LNN and the interventions that comprise what they offer. The work to be undertaken in the current ITT is intended to provide firm foundations for a theory-based evaluation - providing us with an understanding of the existing evidence base and the wider policy and practice landscape.
