It focuses on research and development services aimed at improving communication methods for those over 50 in Greater Manchester, particularly targeting areas with high social isolation. The procurement was published on 2nd August 2017, with a tender submission deadline of 7th September 2017. This open tender procedure is valued at £50,000 and impacts regions including Bolton, Bury, Manchester, Oldham, Rochdale, Salford, Tameside, and Wigan. This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in community media, social services, and research consultancy. Companies that prioritise outreach and community engagement, especially those experienced in working with vulnerable populations or in the voluntary and community sector, are well-suited to compete. The project's aim to reduce social isolation aligns with organisations focused on social impact and innovation, making this an appealing opportunity for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community social enterprises (VCSEs). ## Notice Community Media - The provider will research the potential of various forms of community media to communicate information to different groups of people over 50 living in Greater Manchester with a focus on older people who are socially isolated or at high risk of social isolation. The provider will carry out a study to identify communities who lack access to information and would benefit from more effective methods of communication. Ambition for Ageing is a unique cross sector partnership of influential organisations, led by Greater Manchester Centre for Voluntary Organisation (GMCVO), with the aim of developing creative approaches to reducing social isolation for older people in Greater Manchester. The programme is part of the Big Lottery's national Ageing Better programme which is funding 14 programmes across England. Ambition for Ageing operates in eight areas of Greater Manchester - Bolton, Bury, Manchester, Oldham, Rochdale, Salford, Tameside, and Wigan.
