## Notice

UK Sport plays an active role in promoting good governance in National Governing Bodies and other funded partners. Following the implementation of UK Sport's and Sport England's A Code for Sports Governance across the sector, UK Sport believes that developing a programme of support to address the issue of board culture is an important next step in continuing to improve and achieve the highest standards of governance in funded bodies. UK Sport is therefore seeking to commission a piece of research that will inform our work on board culture. This research piece will consist of a detailed analysis provided by a contracted consultant (from academia, think-tank or any other relevant individual or organisation), to explore and share insights about current thinking on board culture, how it can be measured and evaluated, how it can be influenced and what impact it has on the success of an organisation. Suppliers wishing to submit a quote are requested to register their expression of interest by emailing callum.whitton@uksport.gov.uk by 17:00 on Monday 28th October 2019, along with any clarification questions they may have. The quotation must be received by email and post no later than 17:00 on 17th November 2019. Any quotation received after this time will be rejected by UK Sport.
