## Summary

North East Combined Authority commissioned the Together Through Sport service from Eagles Community Foundation to increase access to free sport for children and young people. The service provides additional capacity in after-school and school-holiday clubs across the North East, delivered through 20 schools. The funded activity is either 200 free places in school-holiday provision or 200 hours of free school delivery. Eagles Community Foundation has committed to match the funding, doubling delivery to 400 places or hours, and to provide further in-kind support for another 200 places or hours. The wider programme involves five sports foundations delivering the equivalent of 3,000 hours or places through direct funding, match funding and in-kind support. The work is based around Newcastle upon Tyne and the wider North East.

This procurement has been awarded through a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The selected supplier is Eagles Community Foundation, an SME, and the award value is £10,000 gross in GBP. The award was recorded on 12 August 2026. The contract period runs from 12 August 2026 to 1 July 2027. One lot covered the complete requirement, and the tender is recorded as complete. The services are classified under research, development and related consultancy, and education and training. The arrangement supports free sports provision through after-school and holiday clubs, with delivery linked to schools across the North East. The procurement used the legal basis of the Procurement Act 2023.

This award shows demand for community-based sports delivery that can expand access through schools, after-school clubs and holiday provision. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need experience designing and running inclusive activities for children and young people, the capacity to deliver substantial numbers of places or hours across multiple schools, and the operational ability to work with public-sector partners. The buyer also values leverage beyond its direct funding: Eagles Community Foundation committed match funding and in-kind support, so organisations able to contribute additional resources, facilities, staff time or partnerships would be well placed. Relevant strengths include education and training delivery, community engagement, programme coordination, safeguarding and measurable delivery across the North East.

## Notice

The purpose of this service is to increase access to free sports activities by funding additional capacity in after-school and holiday clubs across the region. This funding will support 200 free places of school holiday provision OR 200 hours of free school delivery, across 20 schools. The Eagles Community Foundation has committed to match-fund this (thereby doubling delivery to 400 places / hours) and to provide further in-kind support for another 200 places / hours. The Eagles Community Foundation will contribute towards the requirement for the five Sports Foundations to deliver the equivalent of 3,000 hours or places through a combination of direct funding, match funding, and in-kind support.
