The programme involves a scoping phase over 2 months followed by a 30/35-day delivery period starting by 1 January 2024. The total contract value is £50,000. The procurement method is an open procedure below the threshold, and the tender deadline is 30th June 2023. This tender opportunity by THE UNITED KINGDOM SPORTS COUNCIL presents a chance for SMEs and VCSEs to compete for developing ethnically diverse talent in leadership roles within the sports sector. This opportunity is well-suited for businesses in the services category, with a specific focus on training programme services. Interested parties can reach out by emailing Procurement@uksport.gov.uk. The programme aims to tackle racism and racial inequality in sport by attracting, retaining, and developing diverse talent within the high-performance sport system. ## Notice Overview UK Sport's Strategic Plan outlines that we will "Power a diverse, inclusive team. We will ensure the only barrier to sporting success is potential. Together with partners, we will discover the nation's exceptional sporting talent of tomorrow, building a more inclusive and diverse community of sports, staff and athletes." We have set ourselves bold ambitions, both in our EDI Strategy for the high-performance sport system and in our TRARIIS (Tackling Racism and Racial Inequality in Sport) commitments to improve ethnic representation within the high-performance community. Available data show that people from ethnically diverse backgrounds are significantly under-represented in the high-performance system workforce at all levels, and particularly in leadership and management roles. In the 2020 Perrett Laver Board survey of 125 funded sports partners, only 7.9% of Board members identified as Black, Asian or from other ethnically diverse backgrounds, compared to 12% representation on the boards of the FTSE 100 companies. This situation has remained largely unchanged over several Olympic/Paralympic cycles and is unlikely to improve significantly in the coming years without disruptive positive action in support of this underrepresented community. We are committed to accelerating the pace of change to deliver measurable progress in this area. Objectives Our overarching objective is to significantly increase the number of ethnically diverse people in NGB (National Governing Body) and WCP (World Class Programme) workforces, particularly those in leadership positions, by attracting new talent as well as by retaining and developing existing talent. This Tender relates to the development of ethnically diverse talent within the system through the provision of a targeted leadership development experience. Timeframe Initial 10/12 days scoping phase to take place over 2 months. 30/35 days of delivery to be initiated by 1 January 2024. *********** To express interest in this tender opportunity, please e-mail Procurement@uksport.gov.uk ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/38549fa4-2096-4c18-ae4e-8ad0f2042530 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 7 Jun 2023 | | Submission deadline | 30 Jun 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Aug 2023 - 31 Mar 2024 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £50,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | THE UNITED KINGDOM SPORTS COUNCIL | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | East London | | Postcode | E14 3PU | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI4 Inner London - East | | ITL 3 | TLI42 Tower Hamlets | | Local authority | Tower Hamlets | | Electoral ward | Island Gardens | | Westminster constituency | Poplar and Limehouse | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 80 - Education and training services ### Codes - 80521000 - Training programme services ## Release History - 7 Jun 2023 at 14:19 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/38549fa4-2096-4c18-ae4e-8ad0f2042530 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/38549fa4-2096-4c18-ae4e-8ad0f2042530 7th June 2023 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.uksport.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
