Notice Information

Notice Title

Employer Recruitment Services - Athlete Futures

Notice Description

As part of the Athlete Futures Network programme, we commit periodically to running careers fairs and workshops for our athletes to enable them to engage with prospective employers who can provide meaningful work placements, work shadowing, part-time jobs and internships/apprenticeships. The Network also supports former World Class Programme (WCP) athletes who have already transitioned out of sport, whether in the recent past or some time ago. This means that a breadth of athletes attend all our events; some who need to fit career development in around training and competing and some who are already free to look for meaningful full-time career opportunities post-transition. In 2013 and 2016, following the London and Rio Games respectively, we did this on a large scale and in 2018, following the PyeongChang Winter Games, we ran four smaller Roadshow events at Elite Training Centres across the country. In 2020, following the Tokyo Games, we would like to repeat a larger scale event, comprising workshops, an athlete panel and most importantly, a careers fair. To this end, we will invite appropriate UK-based organisations who are able to provide development and work opportunities to the athletes who will be based all over the UK. UK Sport would now like to appoint an organisation to help source and recruit potential employers from a variety of industries to attend the Athlete Futures event in Autumn 2020. The location is still TBC, however it will likely be close to the centre of the UK. UK Sport now invites Tenders for the provision of Employer Recruitment Services for the Athlete Futures event ("the Services") in accordance with this ITT and the attached documents. As this process is conducted below the EU threshold for tenders there is no separate pre-qualification stage or questionnaire but potential suppliers are required to register their expression of interest in tendering in accordance with paragraph 5 below. Suppliers wishing to tender for the contract are requested to register their expression of interest by email to jess.pether@uksport.gov.uk and kate.palmer@uksport.gov.uk by 15:00 on 23 April 2019. Additional information: Suppliers wishing to tender for the contract are requested to register their expression of interest by email to jess.pether@uksport.gov.uk and kate.palmer@uksport.gov.uk by 15:00 on 23 April 2019.
