SPSS files containing unweighted responses and the appropriate data weights will be supplied for both components.

Sport Wales will supply example templates in English for all tables, to be developed and improved by the contractor ready for publication.

Sport Wales require a contractor to populate a series of tables with statistics produced from the supplied SPSS files.

An example of a previous national table publication can be found here: https://www.sport.wales/download/file/117/

The contractor will need to work with Sport Wales translator to produce and populate national tables in Welsh for publication on the Sport Wales website.

These tables will be produced as follows:

SSS – national (priority Offcial Statistics for publication in E&W)

a. Combined (primary and secondary school-aged pupils): demographic, national, geographical e.g. regional, health board, and local authority-level statistics) (including ONS codes where possible for geographical linking). School Provision Statistics for Primary and for Secondary Schools. (All information contained in 1 file, c.50 tables, repeated for Welsh version)

SSS – local authority (similar layout as national tables but includes unweighted school level data)

b. Combined (Primary and Secondary): for each local authority: local authority and unweighted school-level statistics (22 files, c.50 tables each).

SSS – constituencies in Wales (similar layout to national tables but with results shown for constituences)

c. Combined statistics (primary and secondary): National Assembly for Wales (Senedd) constituencies and Electoral regions, including national (1 file, c.50 tables).

d. Combined (primary and secondary): statistics by sport (for approx. 22 sports) – demographic, school, local authority, health board, regional and national (1 files, c.50 tables).

Statistics within spreadsheet cells will be coded based on the quality of each statistic. This is determined using the coefficient of variation or similar. True confidence intervals may also need to be included for selected tables (e.g. national data tables).

The data tables will be ordered, named and labelled, and contain a Table of Contents that links directly to each table. The file should open each time on the 'Table of Contents'. Each file will include a straightforward description of data quality measures applied within he tables.

The data tables will contain up to 30 derived variables. Sport Wales will require the appointed contractor to prepare to undertake the work to derive variables unless notified otherwise. They will also need to check, update, and supply the SPSS syntax to Sport Wales (to recreate all variables and tables supplied if needed).
