Summary of the contracting process

Sport England commissioned temporary project management consultancy for its organisational design and change programme. The work supports an organisational restructuring and consultation process, helping manage the transition, align colleagues’ skills with strategic objectives, and develop people and culture. The requirement is for a temporary Project Manager specialising in organisation design and change, rather than a general goods supply or construction project. It is classified as project management consultancy services (CPV 72224000) and sits within the public services category. Delivery covers Sport England’s operations across the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories, Europe and the rest of the world. The buying organisation is Sport England, based at SportPark in Loughborough, England.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded following a direct single-tender action below the applicable threshold. The tender deadline was 21 August 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded on 28 August 2026 to Insight Executive Group Limited in partnership with Archer Mac L. The awarded value is £784.75 including the stated currency, GBP. The contract period runs from 7 September 2026 to 10 September 2027. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The evaluation route was a single tender rather than an open competition. The selected supplier is recorded as an active award recipient, and the procurement itself is marked complete.

For a supplier assessing future demand from Sport England, this award shows a requirement for hands-on project management during organisational restructuring and change. A credible competitor would need experience managing organisation design projects, supporting formal consultation and implementing change while maintaining clear delivery control. Useful capability would include coordinating stakeholders, helping colleagues through transition, aligning workforce skills with strategic objectives, and contributing to people and culture development. The work suits a provider able to supply an experienced temporary project manager who can operate across a complex, geographically broad organisation and respond to an urgent change programme. The procurement was identified as suitable for SMEs, so a smaller specialist consultancy with relevant transformation experience could be well placed when this type of requirement returns.
