two.1.4) Short description
GMCA is seeking an experienced supplier with the expertise and capacity to deliver its Residents' Survey service.
Since December 2020, we have been collecting regular insight from the people of Greater Manchester about their attitudes, behaviours and experiences of living in our city region – in the context initially of the Covid-19 (coronavirus) pandemic and subsequently of our Greater Manchester Strategy ambitions.
We would like to build on the work that has happened to date, adding value to the current research, whilst helping to develop a clear narrative around the views and attitudes of people in Greater Manchester, as time progresses.
Over the last two years we’ve gathered extensive insight on people’s attitudes and behaviours to topics such as food security, the cost of living crisis, digital inclusion and good work and homes.
To inform and evaluate delivery of our current Greater Manchester Strategy and support its ongoing evolution and development, we intend to continue to gather resident insight on key city region priorities.
This will help us to design, tailor, target and evaluate policy interventions and communications and engagement approaches, and monitor the impact of these actions over a period of time.
It will also help us to track our impact on communities over time, so that we can be accountable for the additional powers we have in Greater Manchester as part of our devolution deal with government.
