It will contribute to a wider suite of resources designed to support Sport England funded Place Partnerships to strengthen leadership capability and embed effective distributed and collective leadership approaches over time.\n2.\tPurpose of the Commission\nThe commission aims to produce an applied, practice led exploration of leadership that:\nIdentifies what good place based leadership can look like in practice, not just in principle, when addressing physical activity inequalities.\n•\tSurfaces insights, behaviours and patterns from across different Place contexts, including:\no\tOriginal/Existing (Deepening) Place Partnerships\no\tNew (Expansion) Place Partnerships\no\tPlace Universal Offer (PUO) areas\n•\tIllustrates how distributed and collective leadership enables people in all roles - policy makers, practitioners, volunteers and communities - to meaningfully influence decisions that shape active lives.\n•\tSupports leaders to reflect on and strengthen relational, collaborative and place specific leadership practices.\n•\tUses national evidence, local learning and lived experience to inform outputs.\n•\tGenerates practical insights, prompts and tools that leaders can adapt and apply in their own system contexts.\n•\tIdentifies how existing Sport England place based leadership support can be extended or enhanced to help Places embed this way of working more deeply over time.\n3. Scope of Work\nA.\tPractice Focused Report / Applied Thought Piece (circa 15 pages)\nThe report should combine insight, reflection and practical application, and explore:\n•\tHow distributed, collective and shared leadership shows up in day to day place based practice.\n•\tHow leadership practices can contribute to tackling inequalities, shifting power and enable behaviour change.\n•\tLearning that is transferable across roles, including system leaders, senior managers and other place based practitioners.\n•\tExamples of leadership in action, such as shared decision making, co production, collective problem solving and cross sector collaboration.\n•\tHow leadership approaches adapt to local identity, assets, culture, geography and challenge.\n•\tReflections on what additional practical support, tools or resources could build on the two day Sport England Place based Leadership Programme and support Places to sustain this work.\n•\tCase led insights highlighting where Place Partnerships have deepened leadership practice locally, outlining what was done, what shifted and what was learned.\nKeen for the tone to be accessible, reflective and grounded, supporting leaders to make sense of their own practice rather than prescribing a single model.\nB. Applied Case Studies (short, practical and high impact)\nEach case study should illustrate leadership “in action”, for example:\n•\tCollaborative governance and cross organisation decision making\n•\tInclusive, community led or co produced leadership\n•\tEnabling conditions and partner behaviours that support local change to address inequalities\n•\tDistributed leadership practices (e.g. shared governance, co-design, collective problem-solving).\n•\tLeadership actions that build relationships, use insight, respond to local context and position physical activity as a wellbeing and prevention priority.\n•\tHighlighting change is important i.e. the case studies could be framed around ‘how things were, how they are now, and what caused this to happen’\nC. Connection with NELP\nThe supplier is expected to work with Sport England’s National Evaluation and Learning Partnership (NELP) to:\n•\tEngage with NELP Leadership Condition colleagues and relevant resources.\n•\tIdentify examples of leadership behaviours and enabling conditions based on NELP insights and outputs\n•\tIntegrating these examples into the applied thought piece, case studies and supporting resources,\n•\tEnsure outputs are grounded in lived experience and real practice.\nThis collaboration is essential to inform the final outputs, support alignment and avoid duplication\nD. Socialisation and Use of Assets\nThe supplier will support the socialisation and use of assets through:\n•\tHosting and delivering a sense making session for LGA, Sport England and NELP colleagues, focused on key insights, learning and implications from the applied thought piece.\n•\tHosting and delivering two recorded sense making sessions for Place Partnerships, designed to:\no\tRaise awareness of the outputs,\no\tPrompt discussion and reflection, and\no\tEncourage practical use of the insights, examples and tools in local work.\no\tThis could also involve Place Partners speaking to their practical examples\n•\tProducing and sharing accompanying slide decks that summarise key insights, learning and reflective prompts.\nSessions should be interactive and practitioner focused, rather than purely presentational.\n4. Optional Supporting Outputs\nSuppliers may propose additional short, practical resources, such as:\n•\tA two-page executive summary.\n•\tA visual or infographic model of “what good leadership looks like”.\n•\nSuppliers are encouraged to be creative and propose outputs that add value, especially on the socialisation, accessibility and practical use of assets.\n5. Deliverables\nThe supplier will be expected to provide:\n1.\tA practice-focused report / applied thought piece (approximately 15 pages), including reflective insight and practical recommendations for further action\n2.\tFour to five applied case studies, either standalone or embedded within the report, illustrating leadership in practice.\n3.\tA minimum of three facilitated sense making sessions for LGA, Sport England and Place Partnership colleagues.\n4.\tAny agreed supporting resources, to be confirmed at inception.\n5.\tParticipation in inception, check-in and review meetings to support alignment, quality and timely delivery.\n6.\tAll outputs/ resources must comply to the Leading the Movement brand guidelines and accessibility requirements\n6.

Leadership Looks Like When Tackling Physical Activity Inequalities in a Place\n1.\tIntroduction\nThe Local Government Association (LGA), in partnership with Sport England, is seeking a suitably experienced supplier to produce a practice focused report / applied thought piece (approximately 15 pages) exploring what good local leadership looks like in practice when taking a place based, whole system approach to tackling physical activity inequalities.\nThe report should surface real world insights, examples and learning drawn from Place Partnerships, illustrating how leadership is enacted, distributed and sustained in different contexts.\nAlongside supporting learning resources and sessions, the final outputs will be hosted on Sport England’s Leading the Movement (LtM) website. It will contribute to a wider suite of resources designed to support Sport England funded Place Partnerships to strengthen leadership capability and embed effective distributed and collective leadership approaches over time.\n2.\tPurpose of the Commission\nThe commission aims to produce an applied, practice led exploration of leadership that:\nIdentifies what good place based leadership can look like in practice, not just in principle, when addressing physical activity inequalities.\n•\tSurfaces insights, behaviours and patterns from across different Place contexts, including:\no\tOriginal/Existing (Deepening) Place Partnerships\no\tNew (Expansion) Place Partnerships\no\tPlace Universal Offer (PUO) areas\n•\tIllustrates how distributed and collective leadership enables people in all roles - policy makers, practitioners, volunteers and communities - to meaningfully influence decisions that shape active lives.\n•\tSupports leaders to reflect on and strengthen relational, collaborative and place specific leadership practices.\n•\tUses national evidence, local learning and lived experience to inform outputs.\n•\tGenerates practical insights, prompts and tools that leaders can adapt and apply in their own system contexts.\n•\tIdentifies how existing Sport England place based leadership support can be extended or enhanced to help Places embed this way of working more deeply over time.\n3. Scope of Work\nA.\tPractice Focused Report / Applied Thought Piece (circa 15 pages)\nThe report should combine insight, reflection and practical application, and explore:\n•\tHow distributed, collective and shared leadership shows up in day to day place based practice.\n•\tHow leadership practices can contribute to tackling inequalities, shifting power and enable behaviour change.\n•\tLearning that is transferable across roles, including system leaders, senior managers and other place based practitioners.\n•\tExamples of leadership in action, such as shared decision making, co production, collective problem solving and cross sector collaboration.\n•\tHow leadership approaches adapt to local identity, assets, culture, geography and challenge.\n•\tReflections on what additional practical support, tools or resources could build on the two day Sport England Place based Leadership Programme and support Places to sustain this work.\n•\tCase led insights highlighting where Place Partnerships have deepened leadership practice locally, outlining what was done, what shifted and what was learned.\nKeen for the tone to be accessible, reflective and grounded, supporting leaders to make sense of their own practice rather than prescribing a single model.\nB. Applied Case Studies (short, practical and high impact)\nEach case study should illustrate leadership “in action”, for example:\n•\tCollaborative governance and cross organisation decision making\n•\tInclusive, community led or co produced leadership\n•\tEnabling conditions and partner behaviours that support local change to address inequalities\n•\tDistributed leadership practices (e.g. shared governance, co-design, collective problem-solving).\n•\tLeadership actions that build relationships, use insight, respond to local context and position physical activity as a wellbeing and prevention priority.\n•\tHighlighting change is important i.e. the case studies could be framed around ‘how things were, how they are now, and what caused this to happen’\nC. Connection with NELP\nThe supplier is expected to work with Sport England’s National Evaluation and Learning Partnership (NELP) to:\n•\tEngage with NELP Leadership Condition colleagues and relevant resources.\n•\tIdentify examples of leadership behaviours and enabling conditions based on NELP insights and outputs\n•\tIntegrating these examples into the applied thought piece, case studies and supporting resources,\n•\tEnsure outputs are grounded in lived experience and real practice.\nThis collaboration is essential to inform the final outputs, support alignment and avoid duplication\nD. Socialisation and Use of Assets\nThe supplier will support the socialisation and use of assets through:\n•\tHosting and delivering a sense making session for LGA, Sport England and NELP colleagues, focused on key insights, learning and implications from the applied thought piece.\n•\tHosting and delivering two recorded sense making sessions for Place Partnerships, designed to:\no\tRaise awareness of the outputs,\no\tPrompt discussion and reflection, and\no\tEncourage practical use of the insights, examples and tools in local work.\no\tThis could also involve Place Partners speaking to their practical examples\n•\tProducing and sharing accompanying slide decks that summarise key insights, learning and reflective prompts.\nSessions should be interactive and practitioner focused, rather than purely presentational.\n4. Optional Supporting Outputs\nSuppliers may propose additional short, practical resources, such as:\n•\tA two-page executive summary.\n•\tA visual or infographic model of “what good leadership looks like”.\n•\nSuppliers are encouraged to be creative and propose outputs that add value, especially on the socialisation, accessibility and practical use of assets.\n5. Deliverables\nThe supplier will be expected to provide:\n1.\tA practice-focused report / applied thought piece (approximately 15 pages), including reflective insight and practical recommendations for further action\n2.\tFour to five applied case studies, either standalone or embedded within the report, illustrating leadership in practice.\n3.\tA minimum of three facilitated sense making sessions for LGA, Sport England and Place Partnership colleagues.\n4.\tAny agreed supporting resources, to be confirmed at inception.\n5.\tParticipation in inception, check-in and review meetings to support alignment, quality and timely delivery.\n6.\tAll outputs/ resources must comply to the Leading the Movement brand guidelines and accessibility requirements\n6. Timeline\nProject Completion date: 30th September 2026\nMilestones agreed at inception.\nIndicative timeline:\n•\tWeek 1: Inception meeting\n•\tWeek 3: Outline/structure\n•\tWeek 9: First draft\n•\tWeek 12: Final version\n•\tWeek 13: Optional resources\n7. Background: Leading the Movement\nThis work sits within Sport England’s Leading the Movement programme, which aims to build a confident, connected, and skilled community of leaders capable of driving long term systemic change and tackling inequalities in sport and physical activity.\nRead more about the Vision, Mission and Aims of Leading the Movement\n8. Budget\nTotal budget: £18,000 + VAT\nThe budget should cover all research, engagement, drafting, design, sense making activity, meetings and revisions. This is the budget cap. Bidders are required to bid competitively, but realistically, showing a full cost breakdown within the bid.\n9. Supplier Requirements\nApplicants must demonstrate:\n•\tStrong experience in the sport and physical activity system\n•\tUnderstanding of place based working, systems change and Sport England’s Place Partnership approach\n•\tAwareness of Sport England wider leadership support offer (i.e. Leading the Movement programme) and the relevant E&L resources that position leadership as a key condition for change when tackling addressing inequalities in physical activity\n•\tExpertise in leadership development, systems leadership or organisational development.\n•\tExperience working at strategic leadership and/or community leadership levels.\n•\tAbility to synthesise complex insights into high-quality written outputs.\n•\tAn appropriate level of independence and objectivity.\n10.
