The tender is open and is classified under development consultancy services, with an estimated budget of £100,000 exclusive of VAT for an initial two-year contract starting from 9 March 2021. Interested bidders must submit their proposals by 15 January 2021. This opportunity is available to organisations capable of delivering learning and support in relation to £5 million of investments related to innovation and technology stemming from the impacts of Covid-19. The contract may also be extended by up to six months if needed. This tender presents a significant opportunity for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community and social enterprises (VCSEs) that have expertise in consultancy services geared towards innovation and learning. Businesses with a focus on developing and implementing innovative strategies, as well as those experienced in delivering educational services within the sports sector, would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. The project's emphasis on learning and development offers potential avenues for growth in consultancy and service provision for those aligned with Sport England’s objectives. ## Notice Sport England as the contracting authority is tendering for an Innovation Learning Partner (the Services). Sport England is seeking through this tendering process to award a contract with a suitably capable Contractor to provide these Services for an initial term of two years and a unilateral option of Sport England to extend for further periods up to a maximum of 6 months as a time-only extension, which would be invoked due to any slippage in delivery of the Innovation Support Package. The maximum anticipated contract value is PS100,000 exclusive of VAT to cover the entire contract period. It is expected that the contract period will contain peaks and troughs of activity, in line with the delivery and development of the different investments we hope to learn form. Sport England is seeking to appoint an Innovation Learning Partner to shape and guide our learning around innovation and to develop our next steps for supporting, stimulating and spreading innovation based on this learning. This learning will largely be based on PS5 million invested in 'Innovation and Tech' as a result of Covid-19 and from other investments and funding opportunities linked to innovation.
