## Summary

The procurement process initiated by Sport England, a public authority under the sub-central government, pertains to the "SE1222 - Code Evaluation Project." This project aims to evaluate the impact of the Code for Sports Governance, which sets governance standards for organisations receiving investment from Sport England and UK Sport. The contract was directly awarded to Ipsos due to their existing relationship, technical expertise, and insight alignment with the ongoing projects. Ipsos, a large supplier, is tasked with providing evaluation consultancy services. The contract, valued at GBP 25,000, began on 25th May 2026 and will conclude on 25th February 2027. The procurement, executed under a direct award methodology, operates within the services industry category and targets Loughborough, UK as the location for these activities. The tender has reached the award stage as of the 28th of July 2026.

This tender offers fantastic opportunities for businesses involved in evaluation consultancy, especially those with expertise in governance and sports-related projects. The procurement method favours already established relationships and expertise; hence businesses providing niche and specific consultancy services that align with existing supplier profiles stand to benefit. For businesses seeking to engage with public sector contracts, establishing a proven track record in similar evaluative projects and a strong partnership potential with Sport England can provide competitive advantage and foster significant business growth. Engaging with this procurement process can pave the way for strengthening networks and enhancing visibility through contribution to impactful governance policies in the sports sector.

## Notice

Launched in 2016 and live from 2017, A Code for Sports Governance (the Code) sets governance standards for organisations in receipt of public investment from Sport England and/or UK Sport. The Code has now been in operation for almost ten years and although Sport England and UK Sport have a wealth of anecdotal evidence about the changes it has driven, its impact has never been formally appraised. This contract seeks a partner/supplier to provide an evaluation of the Code's impact. Our expectation is that this will draw on feedback from organisations who have been subject to it as well as the sector more broadly, although we would look to the successful supplier to advise on best methodology. . The overall aim is to generate evidence about the Code's impact which it is hoped will: * help us understand if the original intent of the Code (as set out in the Government's 2015 sport strategy Sporting Future) have been/are being met * provide more detailed intelligence on the impact of various aspects of the Code * help inform our future work on the Code by generating insights and/or recommendations that Sport England can act on to improve the impact of the Code.
