Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process titled "Evaluation of the Management of the Sport" was initiated by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS), located at 100 Parliament Street, London, SW1A 2BQ, England. This procurement falls under the business services category, specifically focusing on consultancy services, and it was conducted using a selective procurement method through a call-off from a framework agreement. The process has reached the award stage, with the contract awarded to Ecorys UK Limited. Key dates include the end of the tender period on 13th June 2025, the commencement of the contract on 27th June 2025, and its conclusion on 19th September 2025. The tender is especially suited for SMEs and VCSEs, indicating that these entities were considered during the procurement process.

This tender presents significant opportunities for consultancy firms specialising in business services, particularly those focusing on consultancy, recruitment, or similar fields. Ecorys UK Limited, a large-scale entity, was awarded the contract, underscoring the potential for well-established firms to secure business under such frameworks.
