## Description
The Greater Manchester Combined Authority is seeking to procure contract(s) for the facilitation of three of our Greater Manchester Equality Panels.
The Greater Manchester Strategy sets out a clear ambition for ‘a place where all voices are heard and where, working together, we can shape our future’, and this is reinforced in the principles underpinning the Greater Manchester Model; ‘doing with not to’. Greater Manchester covers the ten local authority areas of Bolton, Bury, Manchester, Oldham, Rochdale, Salford, Stockport, Tameside, Trafford and Wigan.
The Equality Panels have been established to help tackle the structural and organisational prejudice and discrimination that causes inequality and injustice in society, through the advancement of equity and fairness in decisions, policies and services across all sectors and communities.
The Panels advise, support and challenge Greater Manchester’s political leaders and policymakers to tackle the discrimination and disadvantage that cause injustice and inequality in society, and champion Greater Manchester as an inclusive city-region.
The GMCA is seeking facilitating organisations for the following panels:
1. LGBTQ+ Equality Panel
2. Women and Girls Equality Panel
3. Older Peoples Equality Panel
