Invitation to submit a tender to undertake research on older people’s housing and service needs that will help inform our Strategic Plan.

Overview

Respond, a construction-led Approved Housing Body and service provider, has been working all around Ireland for over 40 years. Our vision is that every family and individual in Ireland will have high‐quality housing as part of a vibrant and caring community. Housing and decent accommodation, in the areas where people want to live, are central to improving people’s lives and enhancing the health and well‐being of society.

Respond wishes to contract a consultant, researcher or organisation to undertake research on older people’s housing and service needs. The research will include an examination of current and future needs in Ireland as the population ages and identify international best practice that will help inform our Strategic Plan.

As a learning organisation, we are keen to develop and deliver services that are evidence informed. The research will include an examination of current and future needs in Ireland as the population ages and identify international best practice.
