This is an opportunity for communications professionals (both self-employed/freelancers and agencies) to work with Ageing Better on ad hoc projects over a three-year period. It’s unlikely that suppliers will be expected to pitch or bid for individual jobs once they’ve been included in the framework. Ageing Better will commission jobs based on who they deem most appropriate for individual jobs – we will take both the daily rate and the quality of the service proposal into consideration, as per the ITT evaluation criteria (see below).
While Ageing Better will endeavour that the framework is used to evenly distribute work, there is no guarantee of work as a result of being in this framework – however, it does mean that we may call on you to provide services over the next three years for Ageing Better. Bidders are welcome to bid for more than one framework via different submissions. In this scenario, please submit each form as if it’s a completely unique tender submission.
We would look to have up to 10 freelancers approved under each ITT, that we can then use for work as and when required.
• be comfortable to work within our brand guidelines and house style (including our Age Without Limits campaign). We’ll share this with those who are eventually part of the framework but not publicly at this stage. An indication of our brand can be seen in our latest reports and other outputs.
• quickly understand the subject matter we work with, providing content in an appropriate style and tone
• be flexible, and sometimes do work at short notice
• have experience of working on relevant projects
