Brief
We are looking for expression of interests from providers that offer Menopause provision. We are particularly interested in short course delivery which could support and inform employers and employees of the challenges faced by women who are going through the menopause. In addition to this we are keen for the delivery to cover the impact and side effects that the menopause has on individuals.
Qualitative – Responses will be evaluated and scored on a scale of 0-5 using the following methodology:
The score will be divided by the total score available (i.e.5) and then multiplied by the weighted criteria against each response/sub criteria to create a total score.
