Description

Innovate UK (UKRI) is seeking to secure a partner to establish and deliver a Community of Practice (CoP) which supports the Healthy Ageing Challenge participants through an environment of peer support and active learning.
The Healthy Ageing Challenge is a £98M investment to enable businesses, including social enterprises, to develop and deliver products, services and business models that will be adopted at scale which support people as they age. This will allow people to remain active, productive, independent and socially connected across generations for as long as possible.
The CoP will be responsible for sharing learnings between challenge participant organisations, identifying and overcoming common barriers, enabling collaboration between organisations and supporting the challenge in scaling and spreading ideas and good practice from the challenge to a wider interested audience.
The objectives of the CoP are to (for information - not yet finalised):
• Accelerate the pace of proposition development by identifying and overcoming common barriers and through the sharing of lessons learned;
• Generate insights that enable the spread of ideas, products, services and processes to other sectors and audiences;
• Support the Challenge in identifying what is most effective in contributing to healthy ageing, by making appropriate links from the emerging findings of Trailblazers with a wider evidence base within the research community and across the other Challenge activities; and to
• Enable the creation of new collaborations and partnerships where there is the potential to increase the collective impact of a set of complementary activities.

Innovate UK (UKRI) now seek to gauge the market response to Innovate UK's requirements so that we can understand the potential needs of a prospective partner, enabling Innovate UK to facilitate the partner's success in the development of a community of practice for the Healthy Aging Programme.
