Evaluation of the Healthy Ageing Challenge Community of Practice (Phases 2 and 3)

UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) has commissioned the Centre for Ageing Better to deliver a Community of Practice (CoP) to support its Healthy Ageing Challenge which asks industry and researchers to develop products and services that will be adopted at scale to help people remain independent, productive, active and socially connected for longer.

Ageing Better wishes to commission an independent evaluation of the Healthy Ageing Challenge Community of Practice over phases two and three of the project (2021-2024).

Below, we set out a) the aims and objectives of the evaluation, b) a description of planned support to be delivered to the CoP by a dedicated team at Ageing Better, c) an outline of potential evaluation methods (with links to the findings of the pilot evaluation of the CoP and related suggested evaluation framework), and d) a summary of expected outputs.

The main aims of this independent evaluation are to provide a phased process and impact evaluation of the extent to which the support programme delivered by the Ageing Better project team offers an adequate mechanism for meeting the stated objectives for the Community of Practice to:

Learn from and connect with one another

Identify and overcome common barriers

Develop collaborations with other organisations

Scale and spread ideas and good practice to a wider interested audience

Deadline for tender submissions is Friday 22 January at 12pm.
