This procurement falls under the research and development services industry category and is structured as an open procedure, allowing for competitive bids. The tender period concluded on 16 August 2019, while the contract execution phase runs from 11 September 2019 to 12 March 2021. The work aims to gather insights from individuals aged 50 to 69 regarding their experiences in later life, thereby influencing future programmes and activities. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in social research, consultancy services, or with a focus on age-related studies. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations may find themselves well-positioned to deliver on this mixed-methods research project. Participation in this tender could enhance their credibility while contributing to a critical societal initiative aimed at improving the quality of life for older individuals. ## Notice The Centre for Ageing Better's strategy, which launched in the summer of 2018, reiterates our determination to create a society where everyone enjoys their later life. In order to achieve this goal, we are taking a preventative approach and focusing on those approaching later life (approximately people aged 50-69). This piece of work is an important step in our organisational development. It is the first time we are tendering for a large, mixed methods piece of research that will explore in detail this life stage (there are two elements to the project with a total value of PS180,000 excluding VAT). The research will give us an overview of experiences, looking across our priority goal areas, as well as provide us with rich narratives that illustrate people's stories. The results will shape our work programmes going forward, provide us with invaluable insights that will strengthen our dissemination and influencing activities, and support others who are also interested in this exploring this life stage.
