## Notice

Future opportunity notice for "103853 - Multi Sport Grassroots Facilities Technical Assurance". This is not a call for competition. No formal response is required at this stage. The Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) are looking to commission a single supplier who can provide technical assurance on football facility projects that are being delivered by the Multi Sports Grassroots Facilities programme delivery partners across Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. This assurance would primarily consist of providing technical advice prior to funding award, in addition to that sought as part of project grant applications, and provide some assurance for projects already in delivery. This would include reviewing delivery plans, providing technical advice, and cost benchmarking to ensure value for money across a range of small and large projects being delivered by the programme. Given the nature of the projects, the supplier will be expected to work with delivery partners (the Football Associations in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland), as well as work with grant applicants (i.e. clubs, Local Authorities) directly, and to provide a range of technical advice under one contract arrangement. The type of projects which are covered as part of this contract include the following: - Creation of new or replacement of 3G artificial grass pitches - New and upgrading of grass pitches and grass pitch maintenance equipment - Construction of ancillary buildings (e.g. club houses, changing rooms) and fencing - Purchasing of equipment such as goals, goalposts, shelters - Improvements to accessibility eg pathway access to pitches - Install or renewal of LED floodlights. As part of this work, DCMS would expect the chosen supplier to conduct reviews into each project and produce a recommendations report to share with both the individual projects, delivery partners and DCMS. In addition, DCMS would expect the supplier to provide an end of contract report; including all themes and all recommendations across the projects. The expected budget for this work is anticipated to be in the range of PS70k - PS95k, and will cover around 36 projects. We'd be expecting this work to commence at the end of September/early October and finish by mid January. Please note: we will likely be publishing a contracts finder notice along with the tender documentation from w/c 28th Aug. https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/multi-sport-grassroots-facilities-programme-projects-2021-to-2025#:~:text=The Multi-Sport Grassroots Facilities,sports facilities across the UK.&text=20 May 2023-,The Multi-Sport Grassroots Facilities Programme is investing over PS,the whole of the UK.
