II.2.4) Description of the procurement

Aligned to Sport England’s place-based expansion programme, we’re seeking a provider to design, co-ordinate and deliver place-based leadership programmes for Sport England Place Partners.

We’re seeking to build local leadership capacity, uniting partners in a place around a shared purpose, with shared outcomes in relation to sport and physical activity.

The central requirement is based on each new Sport England Place Partner being supported with a local leadership programme in the early phase (development) of their work, in doing so undertaking what we see to be a valuable collective learning experience. Local programmes will need to bring together partners from across the public, third sector and beyond in a local place to learn more about systems leadership, new approaches to tackling inequality and co-design practical applications.

This requirement has evolved from our national Leadership Essentials programme (created and delivered in collaboration with the Local Government Association), through which we’ve recently started to explore (via test & learns pilots), the impact of programmes when delivered to the collective leadership of a place. This will be further developed in 2024, as the first phase of new Sport England Place Partners become recipients of our newly created local leadership programmes. Learning from this work will inform the longer-term place-based leadership model, which will form a key component of ‘Leading the Movement’ from 2025 onwards.
