Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by Sport England involves the continuation and enhancement of the SE1197 Active Lives Online Tool. This initiative, situated in Loughborough, aims at providing comprehensive accessibility to the Active Lives Survey's official statistics through an online data tool. The procurement stage has progressed through the contract award, with the most recent contract details finalised on 27th February 2026. The industry category pertains to business services, including consulting and data analysis, with a contract duration until January 2029 and potential for extension to January 2030. The procurement method was a direct award, executed below the competition threshold.

This contract presents a pivotal opportunity for businesses specialising in IT services, data analysis, and software development, especially those capable of managing and developing robust online data tools. While the existing supplier, Liquidlogic Limited, already reaps the benefits, similar large-scale enterprises may find competitive prospects in future expansions or updates to the tool. The focus on maintaining up-to-date statistical data and addressing known data issues could be particularly attractive for entities offering advanced data solutions. Moreover, maintaining local authority boundaries updates and potential tool improvements encourage innovative contributions from capable service providers aiming to expand their reach within government contracts.

Notice Title

SE1197 Active Lives Online Tool

Notice Description

The Active Lives Survey is an official statistic, and Sport England makes its Active Lives Data openly available (e.g. to colleagues, partners, local authorities and councils, NGBs, the general public etc.). One of the key ways the data is made available is through the Active Lives Online Data Tool, which enables users to generate their own data queries and explore the data in more depth. The Active Lives Tool averages c. 1,100 visitors per month, saving vast quantities of time for the Insight team internally by reducing the number of data requests received. The Active Lives Online Data Tool has been built by, and is currently hosted by Liquid Logic Ltd (previously known as Oxford Computer Consultants). The Tool displays adult and CYP data through time series charts. The most recent contract (SE1010) from January 2022 to January 2025 involved a historic re-upload of the adult and CYP datasets to ensure that the tool remained updated with the latest measures such as the new inequalities metric. However, a new contract is needed to ensure the following: a) that the Tool remains up to date with the latest Active Lives Data including any new measures, b) there is continued hosting and access to the Tool, c) historic data can be re-uploaded to fix known data issues and remove suppressions, d) Local Authority boundaries stay up-to-date, and e) that there is scope for some development to the Tool if Sport England decides this is required over the course of the next contract.
