The selected system will be a cloud-based phone system that utilises soft phone apps via mobile phone and laptop computer. Cost, ease of use, call quality and reliability are key to our decision. We have 16 desks across 3 islands in our office and 3 desk phones - one for each island. We also require a connection for one conference phone situated in a meeting room. We have around 60 staff all of whom will require soft phone apps for both mobiles and laptops. The system needs to be scalable to accommodate fluctuating staff numbers. We need the new system to be installed, and active by the 5th of December 2022. The budget for this project is £25,000 to £30,000, excluding VAT.

Ageing Better and Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) have been working in partnership since 2016 to build the evidence base on effective employment support for over 50s, with the aim of developing and testing a new approach for this group. Ultimately, Ageing Better would like to use this evidence to encourage more places to commission effective services and to influence government to fund a national employment support service for over 50s. The next stage in this process involves GMCA commissioning an employment support programme for economically inactive residents, with tailored support for individuals. As part of this programme there will be a specific element of support for those aged 50+. The 50+ offer is based on co-design work carried out by Humanly in partnership with GMCA, DWP and Centre for Ageing Better developing and testing new ideas on how to achieve better employment outcomes for over 50s. This contract focuses on the evaluation of the 50+ offer, although the evaluation will need to set that specific offer in the context of the wider pilot programme. Details of the Invitation to Tender can be found here: https://ageing-better.org.uk/tenders/invitation-tender-evaluation-50-element-progression-towards-inclusive-employment-gm-pilot Additional information: Deadline for submissions: Monday 11 September 2023 at 5.00pm

We are working with the government and employers to create the right conditions for more people over 50 to be in fulfilling work. We are currently leading the Age-Friendly Employer Pledge, a nationwide programme for employers who recognise the importance and value of older workers, and have developed a range of employer facing resources including a five-point framework to help employers create age-friendly workplaces, a Good Recruitment for Older Workers (GROW) toolkit, and a flexible working toolkit. We want to commission a team to conduct evaluations of both the Pledge and GROW pilots - please see the ITT for more details. We will be hosting a Zoom webinar on 25 October which will give potential bidders a chance to hear more about the Pledge and GROW alongside our ideas for evaluation. There will also be an opportunity to ask us questions directly about the ITT. This meeting will be recorded and shared on this page following the event so that bidders who are unable to make it can hear what questions/answers were given. As always, clarification questions can also just be sent via email by the deadline highlighted in the ITT.

According to the 2021 census, one in five people aged 50-64 are Disabled. This group are significantly less likely to be in employment than those without a disability - around 48% of Disabled 50-64s are in employment, compared with around 80% of those without a disability. Older Disabled workers are at risk of getting left behind by all-age disability employment initiatives: just 18% of participants on the Work and Health programme in their 60s gets a job. Narrowing this gap will be crucial to enhancing the financial security and wellbeing of Disabled people as they age and addressing the UK's productivity challenge. We are seeking a research and co-design partner to work with us and our Experts by Experience Steering Group to help us change this. Specifically, we are looking for a partner to undertake qualitative research identifying areas of opportunity where changes to policy and/or practice would support more Disabled people in their 50s and 60s to access and remain in work. An often-overlooked fact is that many will have acquired their disability over the age of 50 - but a not insignificant proportion will have a longstanding disability that they are ageing with. The latter group is more likely to identify as 'Disabled' and have greater experience of navigating and accessing support - but are also more likely to enter their 50s in a worse economic position than others due to the disadvantages faced by Disabled people throughout their life. We want this project to investigate and reflect these differences. The insights garnered through this project will be particularly crucial at a moment when the Government and opposition parties are expressing more willingness to provide more employment support to workers with disabilities and long-term health conditions - and to making sure that the voice of people aged 50 plus are heard in the upcoming consultation on changes to the Work Capability Assessment. Additional information: The deadline for clarification questions is 5pm, 22 May 2024. The deadline to respond to this ITT is 12pm, 14th June 2024. Interviews are provisionally scheduled for 3/4 July 2024 via Zoom or Teams.
