## Summary

The University of Edinburgh is seeking to enhance healthier working lives and ageing for workers in the care sector through a recently completed procurement process titled "HEALTHIER WORKING LIVES AND AGEING FOR WORKERS IN THE CARE SECTOR." The procurement, classified under the services category, was conducted using an open procedure and is situated in Edinburgh, UK. The contract, valued at £120,000, was signed on 27 July 2021. The aim of the initiative is to co-design research and support activities that enhance the working conditions of staff in the care sector, particularly for individuals over 50. The procurement process is now in the award stage, following a successful bid from Creative Venue (London) Limited, who provided their services for this project.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in consultation services, particularly those focused on social and behavioural research, design thinking, and healthy ageing. Firms with experience in supporting staff training and improving working environments in the care sector would find this project especially relevant. Additionally, small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) can leverage their agility and local knowledge to compete effectively for similar contracts, potentially expanding their client base and enhancing their reputation in the public sector.
