Minimum standards and qualification required
Sport Wales is seeking to appoint a provider to facilitate the development of an evaluation framework for Regional Sport Partnerships. The evaluation framework will align to the existing accountability approach undertaken by Sport Wales across its partner network, mapping progress against reflective learning.
The framework will establish a suite of tools for capturing the contributions of Regional Sport Partnerships to the Vision for Sport in Wales, whilst also drawing out how evidence and insights can be best used to identify improvements and best practice for the overall Sport Partnership approach and individual Sport Partnership Regions.
The development of the framework will work with Sport Wales’s Insight team, the Relationship Management Team and Sport partnership team to identify a national approach, whilst also co-creating the regional approach with existing and emerging Sport Partnership entities.
Content and Output for Commission
1. Work with Sport Wales to co-design the National Evaluation Framework for regional Sport Partnerships – considering existing accountability approaches with partners who are provided with annual funding.
2. Work with Sport Wales to identify the range of national and regional data sets available (School Sport Survey, National Survey for Wales, Census data etc), and identify any data gaps or challenges that would be included in any accountability and National Evaluation Framework, aligned to the existing investment approach.
3. Explore systems mapping to identify barriers and the whole systems approach to inactivity. Maximising connectivity and use of the data and information in key areas such as the Public Services Boards and the well being plans.
4. Build into the framework the need to collate and share learning - throughout the year not just at the end of the evaluation exercise.
5. Create a dynamic work environment (face-to-face, virtual, sprints, etc.) to ensure the work progresses at pace.
6. Work with one or more of the established Sport Partnership regions to co-create the bespoke evaluation approach for those entities within the context of the National Evaluation Framework, which would provide learning for each of the remaining Regional Sport Partnerships in future.
7. As part of the co-creation approach facilitate engagement with key stakeholders to ensure a sense of regional ownership for the evaluation approach.
8. Develop a strategic overview of the evaluation approach that can be presented to other Regional Sport Partnership entities.
The Contract has an anticipated value of £45,000. Any additional ongoing service costs based on expenses incurred in delivering the planned approach should also be included in the tender submission.
