UK5 - Transparency Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Sport England procured services to contract and deploy Moving to Inclusion (MTI) mentors across England. The work supports the MTI programme and includes managing the mentors’ deployment, quality assurance, collecting good-practice case studies for the programme website and evaluation. Sport England is the buying organisation. The requirement is for programme delivery and coordination services rather than the supply of goods or construction work. Its scope brings together employment-contract administration, deployment of mentors and assurance and evaluation activities connected with their work. The successful provider is Sport Structures Limited, which held the mentors’ employment contracts and had supported the programme since it began.

The procurement is complete and Sport Structures Limited was selected through a direct award, justified by its existing employment contracts with the MTI mentors and role in contracting and deploying them. The stated evaluation basis was technical reasons linked to a single supplier. The award value is £72,855 including VAT. The contract period runs from 20 October 2026 to 31 March 2027, with the award published on 5 October 2026. There is one lot, covering the mentor contracting and deployment service. The lot was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The award is recorded as pending; no cancellation or termination is reported.

For suppliers considering comparable work for Sport England, the award indicates demand for an integrated service that can manage employment arrangements for a distributed network of inclusion mentors, deploy them across England, assure service quality, capture practical case studies and contribute to programme evaluation. A credible competitor would need demonstrable capability across contract administration, workforce coordination, quality assurance, evidence gathering and evaluation, with the capacity to support delivery nationally. Relevant experience would include working with mentor-led or community-facing programmes and producing usable learning for publication, while maintaining consistent oversight of delivery. Sport Structures’ established relationship with the mentors was central to this award, so a future competitor would need to show how it could secure continuity, manage the workforce effectively and provide assurance and evaluation of comparable quality.
