Description
This Invitation to Tender is for the provision of content for Ageing Better's monthly e-newsletter ('Research and Policy Alert'), as well as the provision of content for our 'Latest Research' RRS feed on our website.
In order to provide a comprehensive overview of Ageing Better's priority goal areas, we require the provider to have specialist information skills and knowledge in the topics and subject areas focused on by Ageing Better: Communities, Housing, Health and Work, as well as broader topics around ageing in society, such as ageism and finance.
This ITT covers two Lots: provision of academic content for our monthly Research and Policy e-alert and provision of grey literature content and RSS feed content for our monthly Research and Policy e-alert. Bidders may bid for the whole contract (covering both lots), or for an individual Lot.
Lot 1
Lot 1 comprises the provision of academic literature related to Ageing Better's priority goals (Work, Health, Homes and Communities) and the ageing agenda more broadly. We expect this content to be sourced largely from peer-reviewed journals.
Lot 2
Lot 2 comprises the provision of policy related content as it relates to Ageing Better's priority goals (Work, Health, Homes and Communities) and the ageing agenda more broadly. We expect this content to be sourced largely from grey literature, statistics, relevant policies and guidelines.
Lot 2 also includes the provision of RSS Feed content. We expect this to use an XML file that automatically feeds relevant content into the Ageing Better website. The content featured in the feed should reflect the sort of content that will contribute to the e-alert and should be updated on a regular, near daily basis, with the appropriate metadata.
Both the e-alert and the RSS Feed content will be sourced as 'white label' unbranded content and positioned as 'Latest Research' within both the Ageing Better e-alert and Ageing Better website.
