Description
Background
We're here to invest in sport and physical activity to make it a normal part of life for everyone in England, regardless of who you are. Because it's not always a level playing field. Right now, the opportunities to get involved in sport and activity - and reap the rewards of being active - depend too much on your background, your gender, your bank balance and your postcode.
We're determined to tackle this and unlock the advantages of sport and physical activity for everyone.
This isn't just about our long-standing purpose of helping more people to enjoy playing sport and being physically active. We believe that by removing existing barriers to sport and activity, we can be part of a bigger picture of work that helps to address many of society's biggest challenges.
Uniting the Movement is our 10-year strategy for 2021-31 aiming to do just that. Together, we can change lives for the better in every home, and in every community, right across the country Sport England
We know the physical environment in the spaces we live, and work can have an impact on people being physically active. Active Environments is all about creating the spaces and places to be more active.
Ultimately, it's about developing stronger, happier healthy communities and better places to live, by ensuring our built and natural environments and the connections in between are designed or adapted around people, creating the opportunities to increase physical activity levels.
We know bespoke procurement exercises are frequently conducted to appoint specialist support in strategic planning, leisure procurement, urban design and planning. This framework will provide access to specialist consultants (small and medium sized enterprises, as well as larger organisations) with extensive knowledge and expertise, who will be selected for their ability to deliver high quality, consistent services for contracting authorities to support Active Environments and to "create places and spaces for people to be more active and build healthier active communities" Active Environments Framework
Sport England as the Authority contracting on behalf of itself and other Contracting Authorities, is tendering for service providers to be on our framework contract to support Sport England and sector partners work on Active Environments (the Services). Active Environments is all about creating the spaces and places to be more active. Sport England is seeking through this procurement process to set up a supply framework with a number of suitably capable Contractors to provide these Services for an initial term of 24 months and an option of Sport England to extend for further periods up to a maximum of an additional 24 months.
