Summary of the contracting process

Sport England procured quantitative activity check-in survey services, classified as research services (CPV 73110000). The work is to conduct a survey that checks activity levels; the published scope identifies this service but gives no further detail on survey design, sample, frequency or outputs. Sport England is the buying organisation, based in Loughborough, England. Delivery locations are listed as the United Kingdom, Europe, the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world, so the stated geographic reach extends beyond the UK. This is a services requirement rather than a supply of goods or construction work. The opportunity was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and unsuitable for voluntary, community and social enterprises.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Savanta Group Limited. Sport England used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The award date was 7 May 2026, and the contract runs from 7 May 2026 to 9 May 2029. The awarded value is £300,000. The original tender submission deadline was 13 February 2026 at 12:00 UTC. The available details identify the procurement as a quantitative survey service but do not set out the evaluation criteria or any division into lots. The award is recorded as active, with no indication that it was cancelled or that the contract was terminated. The recorded contract period provides the timeframe for the commissioned service; no separate award decision or evaluation date is stated.

This award demonstrates Sport England’s demand for quantitative research that checks activity levels across a broad geographic footprint, including locations beyond the UK. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to deliver quantitative survey research and be able to serve the buyer’s stated international reach. The successful supplier, Savanta Group Limited, is recorded as a large organisation, while the procurement was marked suitable for SMEs, indicating that smaller research businesses may also be relevant competitors. The route used was a call-off from a framework agreement, so suppliers seeking comparable work with Sport England would benefit from eligibility for the relevant framework and the capacity to deliver its requirements. The procurement details do not identify specific research methods, accreditations or technical qualifications, so no particular credentials can be inferred from this award.
