Summary of the contracting process

Sport England has awarded the contract for the Active Lives Online Tool to Liquidlogic Limited. The agreement, titled "SE1197 Active Lives Online Tool," falls within the business services industry category and is valued at £105,000 in net terms with a gross amount of £126,000. Operating out of Loughborough, Sport England is a public authority within the sub-central government category. This contract, which covers services and holds potential for renewal, is scheduled to commence on 27th February 2026 and will run until 16th January 2029, with a possibility of extending until 2030.

Businesses skilled in services such as law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, and data management may find lucrative opportunities in this project. Liquidlogic Limited, currently responsible for hosting the tool, is a large enterprise situated in Oxford, but the suitability of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) is acknowledged as well.

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.
