The contracting authority seeks an individual or agency with expertise in co-design methods, particularly in working with public sector audiences, to create resources facilitating the adoption of age-friendly approaches by local authorities. The process is currently at the tender stage, with a deadline for responses set for 5pm on 22nd November 2024. The contract period starts on 6th January 2025 and concludes on 30th June 2025. The procurement falls under the "Research and development services and related consultancy services" category, using an open procedure below the threshold, with an estimated value between £20,000 and £48,000. This tender offers significant growth opportunities for businesses experienced in stakeholder engagement, ageing, and local government dynamics. SMEs are particularly encouraged to apply, making the tender accessible to a broad range of service providers. The successful candidate will be instrumental in expanding the network of age-friendly local authorities, contributing to social and community improvements. Companies specialising in co-design, public health consultancy, and local government advisory services are well-suited to compete for this opportunity, ensuring the creation of impactful and practical resources to address inequalities in ageing. ## Notice We are looking to work with an individual or agency with experience using co-design methods with public sector audiences, to create resources and tools to support more local authorities in the UK to adopt age-friendly approaches. Age-friendly Communities are localities committed to adopting the World Health Organisation's Age-friendly Communities approach. By following this approach, local groups, leaders, councils, businesses and older residents work together to identify and make changes in both the physical and social environments. Centre for Ageing Better provide the secretariat for the UK Network of Age-friendly Communities, which currently comprises a membership of 89 local authorities. We are aiming to grow this network, as well as the number of local authorities who are taking specific action to address inequalities in ageing. We are looking to commission an individual or agency to work with us to lead a design process to create a small number of tools and resources to support places to be more age-friendly. The tools will be co-designed with and tailored to the specific types of local authorities - and audiences within them - where we can best focus and increase our impact. The ideal candidate/s will be experienced in co-design methods, with strong stakeholder engagement skills and knowledge of ageing and of local government. Most importantly, they will have experience creating resources that make change happen.
