About

The Department for Education is seeking a National Delivery Partner to establish and deliver the new PE and School Sport Partnerships Network across England, providing strategic leadership, design, implementation and operational delivery. The Network will focus on reducing inequalities in access and participation and improving the quality and consistency of PE and school sport for all children by providing flexible local support, helping schools protect two hours of PE weekly, and strengthening school-to-club links through peer-to-peer learning and coordinated CPD to create a more equitable, sustainable system for physical activity and sport in schools. Of the total circa £513m programme funding, the contract value for this opportunity is circa £426,000,000 for the initial contract term, with a large proportion of funding being pass-through and a price cap on the service element; total values include potential extensions. The Department for Education is keen to maximise opportunities for SMEs and VCSEs and will consider consortia and collaborative bids.
