The project will inform the allocation of PS205m grassroots facilities investment across the UK over the next 3 years, and the distribution of further investment to achieve full community coverage by 2030. Purpose The overarching objectives of the scoping exercise are to answer the following: What are the current numbers of grassroots football pitches and facilities in Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland; what is their quality and how are they distributed? How many of them support multi-sport usage i.e. for at least one other sport; of what type? What is the current rate of usage of those facilities in Scotland, Wales & Northern Ireland and how is that demand for facilities likely to evolve in each nation over the next 10 years? What are the current and future needs gaps between supply and demand for local facilities in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland? What, therefore, is the facilities pipeline that grassroots investment must deliver in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland (i) over the next 3 years and (ii) over the next 10 years? The answers to these questions will provide a roadmap for the delivery of grassroots investment, highlighting where need is greatest, what investment is likely required where and supporting local areas with their future-focussed facilities planning. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/000936-2022 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 12 Jan 2022 | | Submission deadline | 11 Feb 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 28 Feb 2022 - 1 Jun 2022 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £350,000 | | Lots value | £350,000 | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Active | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | DEPARTMENT FOR DIGITAL, CULTURE, MEDIA AND SPORT | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1A 2BQ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | St James's | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ## Release History - 12 Jan 2022 at 18:15 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/000936-2022 ## Notice URLs - http://www.gov.uk/dcms - https://www.delta-esourcing.com/respond/4ZU7RFBTV6 - https://www.delta-esourcing.com/tenders/UK-UK-London:-Research-and-development-services-and-related-consultancy-services./4ZU7RFBTV6 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
