2. Create a new and ambitious website for the fully integrated health and care Careers Gateway website, maximising the value it brings to the population, Employers and Employees across the Greater Manchester system. The Integrated Greater Manchester Single Shared Careers Gateway will; fully integrate Health and Social Care within its offerings, be able to scope opportunities to widen its reach through involvement with wider Greater Manchester initiatives such as ambassador schemes, Bridge GM' and 'Greater.Jobs' and improve the online presence of the service through providing a fit for purpose website and greater use of social media platforms. The Affordability Threshold is £300,000 for years 1 and 2 with Providers at the Procurement Stage having to demonstrating how they can work with the Commissioners to obtain a stepped approach to efficiencies and income generation for years 3, 4 and 5. It is anticipated that the contract duration will be for 2 years with the option to extend for up to a further 3 years. Please note that the contract may only be extended should the Successful Provider be able to demonstrate income generation as there may not be funding for years 3, 4 and 5.

Providers wishing to express an interest should email Rachael_Frank@nhs.net before 12noon on 30th November 2018.
