Notice Title

Commonwealth Games Legacy Enhancement Fund - Legacy Trailblazer Programme

Notice Description

During the Games five Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games legacy programmes achieved high levels of inclusive impact and reach amongst underserved communities and in overlooked places across the West Midlands. However, not everyone had a chance to take part and this contract award during its term will enable more people to volunteer at events, young people facing barriers can access social action placements, people with disabilities and more women and girls to participate in Games-linked physical activity, and more Voluntary Community and Social Enterprise organisations ("VCSE")operating in our most deprived places and with our most disadvantaged people can gain resilience from inclusion in the Games legacy network. There is current evidence of demand for five projects amongst communities and VCSEs in the West Midlands. In 2023, community consultation tested post-Games appetite for the outputs and the objectives of five specific trailblazer projects and found not only demand, but also that communities trusted the charity as a neutral body to deliver fairly on behalf of WMCA. Communities said that the Games brand continues to be seen as inclusive, positive and powerful, with the potential to engage underserved beneficiary groups linked to all five Trailblazers.

Procurement Information

The delivery agent for these projects has been pre-defined as the United by 2022 Legacy Charity (UB22) - the official Birmingham Commonwealth Games charity. UB22 is led and staffed by individuals who previously worked for the B2022 Organising Committee (OC), delivering the five projects. For the impact and reputational management required for this intervention, branding continuity is essential, and therefore UB22, as the rights holder of the Games branding assets is the only viable delivery option.
