Summary of the contracting process

The University of Edinburgh is seeking to enhance healthier working lives and ageing for workers in the care sector through a recently completed procurement process titled "HEALTHIER WORKING LIVES AND AGEING FOR WORKERS IN THE CARE SECTOR." The procurement, classified under the services category, was conducted using an open procedure and is situated in Edinburgh, UK. The contract, valued at £120,000, was signed on 27 July 2021. The aim of the initiative is to co-design research and support activities that enhance the working conditions of staff in the care sector, particularly for individuals over 50. The procurement process is now in the award stage, following a successful bid from Creative Venue (London) Limited, who provided their services for this project.
