Invitation to tender: Impact report for UK Network of Age-friendly Communities

Tender description

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. This includes improving transport, outdoor spaces, volunteering and employment, leisure and community services. Centre for Ageing Better provide the secretariat for the UK Network of Age-friendly Communities, led by our Localities team. We are seeking to commission the creation of an impact report summarising the positive and promising impact that Age-friendly Communities are having on their older residents and communities overall. We are looking to evidence the potential benefits of taking the Age-friendly Communities approach, the role the UK Network of Age-friendly Communities has played in realising these benefits and how adopting the approach might have resulted in change that wouldn't have happened anyway. Due to the scope of this commission this is not a comprehensive evaluation of Age-friendly Communities or the UK Network. The output of this project will be designed into an accessible, compelling format and shared with internal and external stakeholders, to help make the case for Age-friendly Communities, locally and nationally. The budget for this impact report is £20,833 excluding VAT. The deadline for clarification questions is 5pm, 1st May 2024. Responses to clarification questions will be openly published on our website for all interested parties to view on 2nd May 2024.
