## Summary

The procurement process for the UEFA EURO 2028 Tournament Impact Evaluation, led by The United Kingdom Sports Council with the assistance of the Welsh and Scottish governments, has recently concluded. The primary objective was to secure a supplier able to evaluate the tournament's social and economic impacts across multiple jurisdictions in the UK and Ireland from 2026 to 2030. The process employed an open, competitive flexible procedure and culminated in the award stage on the 5th of June, 2026. The total contract value grossed at £2,250,000 with a net amount of £1,875,000. Relevant industry categories included research and development consultancy, survey design and conduction, and economic impact assessment services. Contract fulfilment is scheduled to begin on the 1st of July, 2026, with a possibility of extension to assess longer-term legacy outcomes post-2030.

This tender presents a significant growth opportunity for businesses with expertise in conducting large-scale, multi-disciplinary evaluations. Companies adept in event impact analysis, possessing substantive experience in managing and delivering complex evaluations, and handling high-profile events, are ideally suited for this contract. The procurement process allowed for SMEs to participate actively, thus encouraging diverse submissions. Enterprises specialising in research services, survey operations, and economic assessments will find this project an excellent match given the scope and nature of required outputs, which include detailed pre-and post-tournament reports and a comprehensive legacy report.
