This procurement falls under the financial and insurance services category and is based in London, United Kingdom. The tender period concluded on 25 January 2019, with the contract set to commence on 1 April 2019 and lasting for three years, concluding on 31 March 2022, with an option for a one-year extension. This open procedure procurement, with a value of up to £7,200,000, requires proposals to be submitted in compliance with the ITT documentation available from UK Sport's official website. This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in financial and insurance services, particularly those with experience in managing healthcare schemes. Companies that are capable of providing comprehensive medical cover tailored to the needs of high-performance athletes, including National Governing Bodies, might find this opportunity especially beneficial. By engaging with this contract, successful bidders can expand their portfolios and reinforce their presence in the sports insurance sector, further promoting their capabilities in service delivery to both funded and unfunded organisations within the sports community. ## Notice UK Sport's Athlete Medical Scheme (AMS) is a medical insurance scheme which covers the costs of healthcare of funded athletes who are members of Olympic and Paralympic sports World Class Programmes. National Governing Bodies, funded or unfunded, may also purchase places on AMS at an agreed cost by UK Sport, to provide medical cover to athletes not on a World Class Programme. UK Sport pays an annual premium to cover the costs of claims and, subject to approval and conditions of cover by AMS, the athlete receives healthcare. It is a free service to athletes and no costs are recharged to their governing bodies. The existing policy comes to an end on 31 March 2019. The cover will run for 3 years from 1 April 2019 (i) with the option to extend for an additional 12 months and (ii) with the option, at UK Sport's discretion, to terminate at the end of each year during the term. UK Sport requires submission of proposals to become a commercial sponsor of UK Sport to complement AMS.
