The procurement stage is currently active, with a deadline for expressing interest by 9th September 2022 and proposals due by 31st October 2022 and 9th December 2022 for the preliminary report and final report respectively. The contract period spans from 19th September 2022 to 31st December 2022. This tender issued by the UK Sports Council presents an opportunity for businesses experienced in research consultancy services to engage in strategic work to understand the current state of major event hosting in the UK. This opportunity is suitable for SMEs, aiming to provide valuable insights to the sector and contribute to enhancing the UK's global event hosting reputation. Interested parties can contact Procurement@uksport.gov.uk for further details on this open procedure below threshold procurement process. ## Notice UK Sport is the government's technical lead agency for major sporting events bidding and hosting at the UK level. As the strategic leadership organisation at the heart of the major event hosting landscape UK Sport has a responsibility to be monitoring the sector, its success and challenges and providing support and guidance to the event hosting landscape. Over the past 6 months UK Sport has increasingly heard of the challenges for the sector returning to 'normal' after the pandemic and that the new normal is very different to that of the pre-pandemic world of 2019. This is leading the team and the organisation to have a number of key questions and considerations in how it responds to protect, grow and support not only the sector but also the UK's leading event hosting reputation globally. UK Sport is therefore looking to appoint an experienced provider to undertake a piece of strategic work - involving targeted engagement with sector partners, and utilising current and relevant data, insight and research - in order to understand the current 'State of Play' before considering a strategic response. An initial preliminary/draft report is required by Monday 31 October 2022, followed by a mid-project review to assess remaining priorities and engagement prior to delivery of a final report by Friday 9 December 2022.
