Description

Just under 8 million people are living in poor-quality homes that are a serious risk to their health and wellbeing. Many people need to make changes to keep their homes accessible, safe and warm but do not have the information and support they need.

The Centre for Ageing Better's Good Home Inquiry identified the need to increase the confidence, means and capability of individuals to make changes to their home. A key recommendation was to make sure that everyone has access to local delivery bodies that provide or signpost to information and advice, finance, home repairs, adaptations and energy efficiency services. Ideally these services would be organised as a one-stop shop from the consumer perspective, even if delivered by various organisations. We call this model a Good Home Hub.

The Centre for Ageing Better is seeking to commission a process and impact evaluation of a new service in Lincolnshire, 'Good Home Lincs', that brings together a number of new and existing services identified in the Good Home Hub model.

This evidence will be fundamental in underpinning decisions on the next steps for the Good Home Lincs service model. It will also provide information to support Ageing Better to articulate how Good Home Hubs lead to impact for people, supporting both local and national policy makers in decisions related to these services across the country.

The budget for the evaluation is £137,419 excluding VAT.

The deadline for clarification questions is 5pm, 29th April 2024. Responses to clarification questions will be openly published on our website for all interested parties to view on 3rd May 2024.

The deadline to respond to this ITT is 5pm, 29th May 2024.

Interviews are provisionally scheduled for 20th June 2024 via Zoom or teams.
