## Notice

The purpose of this research is to investigate, in collaboration with a small cohort of National Governing Bodies (NGBs), what an inclusive and positive development experience means for the athletes on the ETP and their support network (i.e. parents/carers). The early stages of an ETP typically means athletes are mainly club/school based with periodic camps and training sessions with the England programme. Hence, with this research we are aiming to gain an insight into the day-to-day experience of the athlete and what the demands placed upon parents are to support their child to remain engaged with an ETP. The project has an anticipated value of PS15,000 - PS24,000 (excluding VAT). The purpose of this Invitation to Quote (ITQ) is to provide quotes against a predetermined set of requirements through which Sport England can identify the Most Economically Advantageous Tender (MEAT). If you are interested in responding to this ITQ please register on the Sport England e-sourcing portal at https://sportengland.bravosolution.co.uk/web/login.html and self-invite to ITT-168.
