The tender involves the commissioning of an employment support programme focusing on individuals aged 50 and over, with a deadline for submissions on Monday 11 September 2023 at 5.00pm. The procurement falls under the main procurement category of services and follows an open procedure. The contract period is set to start on 27th October 2023 and end on 31st March 2025. This tender presents an opportunity for businesses involved in research and development services and related consultancy services to compete for a contract that evaluates employment support services for individuals aged 50 and over. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged to participate in this tender. Businesses interested in providing tailored support for economically inactive residents in the Greater Manchester area may find this opportunity well-suited to their expertise and capabilities. ## Notice Ageing Better and Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) have been working in partnership since 2016 to build the evidence base on effective employment support for over 50s, with the aim of developing and testing a new approach for this group. Ultimately, Ageing Better would like to use this evidence to encourage more places to commission effective services and to influence government to fund a national employment support service for over 50s. The next stage in this process involves GMCA commissioning an employment support programme for economically inactive residents, with tailored support for individuals. As part of this programme there will be a specific element of support for those aged 50+. The 50+ offer is based on co-design work carried out by Humanly in partnership with GMCA, DWP and Centre for Ageing Better developing and testing new ideas on how to achieve better employment outcomes for over 50s. This contract focuses on the evaluation of the 50+ offer, although the evaluation will need to set that specific offer in the context of the wider pilot programme.
