Research and Development: Mapping and Directory Project

Closing Date: THIS OPPORTUNITY HAS NOW CLOSED

Introduction

The London City Strategy Pathfinders, West London Working and the East London City Strategy Pathfinder, are two of the 15 City Strategy Pathfinders launched by the Department for Work and Pensions in May 2007. The Pathfinders cover cities across Britain, testing how best to build a partnership of government agencies, local government and the private and voluntary sectors to help more jobless people to find and progress in work. Pathfinder partnerships aim to join up employment and skills provision and increase its effectiveness. In return, DWP has provided dedicated funding and the opportunity for Pathfinders to flex national policies according to local needs. The funding runs until March 2009.

The Role

The London Development Agency, on behalf of the consortia that govern the two London City Strategy Pathfinders is looking for an organisation or partnership with proven experience in the research, development and delivery of online database solutions to collate publicly-funded employment services in East and West London. In addition, we also require:

  • A proposal for a successful business model for maintenance and upkeep of the database,
  • Analytical maps, and
  • An application that delivers multiple, adviser-facing, web-based directories.
