This initiative falls under the recreational, cultural, and sporting services industry category, with a specific focus on combating social isolation among individuals over 50. The procurement process is open, with proposals due by 24th October 2018. The contract is set to commence on 17th December 2018 and will run until 31st March 2020. It aims to engage a partnership of organisations that can produce engaging content using various media formats across the Greater Manchester area, excluding Trafford and Stockport. This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in media production and community engagement, particularly those with experience in working with older or marginalised populations. Companies that can demonstrate innovative outreach strategies and have strong community ties will be well-placed to compete. The project encourages inclusivity and accessibility, making it suitable for small and medium enterprises and voluntary community sector organisations looking to expand their impact and reach within local communities. ## Notice GMCVO is looking to contract with a partnership of organisations who will run a 12 month campaign using a range of media that enables people over 50 to tell us how they are working to reduce social isolation and the changes they are making to the places they live in. We expect the partnership to produce and distribute material which is created with and for people over 50 and directed by them. The partnership will have a lead provider with one or more partners sub-contracting to that provider. We want the partnership to comprise of organisations with production skills and distribution mechanisms, but who also has links and reach into communities at risk of social isolation. We would expect providers to work with people from marginalised communities who may have had fewer opportunities to take part in such work. The partnership will distribute material as widely as possible across Greater Manchester and use multiple channels of delivery, for example podcasts, newsletters, booklets, video blogs etc. We want content to go out throughout the year and we would want bidders to demonstrate in their proposal how they would achieve this. Ambition for Ageing will have the ability to host content on our website if required. Inclusivity and accessibility are important principles informing the delivery of all aspects of the Ambition for Ageing programme. The partnership needs to consider the intersectional reality of people's lives in order to combat the social isolation of marginalised older people. The work must be delivered across the 8 Local Authority districts which are covered by Ambition for Ageing - Bolton, Bury, Manchester, Oldham, Rochdale, Salford, Tameside and Wigan (not Trafford or Stockport).
