Description

Sport England is a lottery distributor, administering and awarding approximately £300m per annum (£100m exchequer and £200m lottery). The funds are distributed across the sport and physical activity ecosystem, a complex network of over 100,000 organisations of different sizes and types. This network of organisations provides the opportunities that already underpin the activity habits of millions of people and the athletes that progress through talent development pathways.  
Having a fit for purpose technology system for investment administration is therefore essential for Sport England to deliver its strategic ambitions and role as a funding distributor.  
The technology system underpins a substantive part of Sport Englands operation, and as a result needs to balance key operating tensions including:  
Strategy ambitions and stakeholder expectations: The launch and continued support for Uniting the Movement signals both the sector engagement and expectations for delivery of the strategy including ease of access to funding.  
Financial operating constraints: Sport England operates within administrative constraints impacted by income. Maximising efficiency and productivity in investment will enable effective delivery within the constraints.  
Government functional standards and best practice: Rightly government require standards to be achieved for grant administration including counter-fraud. Sport England has established investment management – any change must not compromise standards. 
Continuity of operation and delivery: As Sport England existing commitments and necessary ambitions require delivery scale and cadence to be maintained throughout any change.  
Alignment with future target operating model: Finally, any improvement in technology needs to align, and have the ability to, adapt to future operating structures and priorities. 
Proof of Concept Delivery: A limited time period Proof of Concept (PoC) has recently been delivered prior to this phase. This has demonstrated the approach and functionality can be successful, and the build created will be extended to form the basis of the next phase of development. The PoC contained some limited functionality for the investment management journey in the system. It is deployed on Azure using Azure App service to manage Docker containers, database is PostgreSQL, API backend is asynchronous Python / Starlette, front end is in React with backend for frontend pattern based on Remix.

SE1184 Active Environments Framework

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.

Collaborating closely with our business partners, we focus on supporting our three strategic objectives. We have successfully implemented a cloud-first strategy, replacing many of our legacy enterprise applications with evergreen SaaS solutions. Our primary cloud platform, Microsoft Azure, serves as the foundation for building and running innovative solutions. <br/><br/>Analytics and data science are at the heart of our offerings, and data and information management is a key capability of the Digital Directorate. <br/><br/>Scottish Water is also modernising our network offerings, adopting a software-defined network approach. To meet emerging business, customer, and regulatory demands, we require a digital supply chain that facilitates rapid solution delivery while supporting the ongoing maintenance and modernisation of our infrastructure. We adhere to industry best practices, ensuring compliance with data and technology regulations applicable to a public body in the water sector, a critical component of national infrastructure. <br/><br/>The convergence of IT, Smart IoT Technology, and Operational Technology (OT) is accelerating. Our assets are increasingly connected to the internet through a growing array of sensors, offering opportunities to enhance services, improve data analytics, and reduce costs and carbon emissions via an intelligent asset base. Compliance with regulatory standards, is essential and supplier partnerships that seamlessly integrate these complex digital innovations with engineering practices across capital investments are crucial. <br/><br/>Scottish Water seeks supplier partnerships that operate at scale, with extensive experience and expertise. We value suppliers who can manage a broad supply chain and engage with niche providers as needed. Our partners should be integrators and expert advisers in AI, automation, digital twins, and other relevant technologies. <br/><br/>We aim to establish relationships with partners who have strategies supporting modern engineering practices like Platform Engineering, DevOps, CI/CD, Automation, Software Defined Networking, Zero Trust, and IT/OT convergence, ensuring secure technology transformation. <br/><br/>Scottish Water is inviting partners to collaborate with us in the following areas, which align with the offerings we will present to the market: <br/><br/>Networks & Security (Master Service Agreement) <br/><br/>Our preference is for converged network and security services in line with our approach to exploit software defined networking. Bidders with capabilities in security services or network services only are however encouraged to pre-qualify. Scottish Water will determine direction on converged or discrete services post PQQ. Bidders for these lots will be assessed on their ability to deliver change projects. <br/><br/>This category also includes a requirement for interim on-premises data centre support. However, the specific arrangements for this will be decided after the PQQ process, and bidders without data centre support capabilities will not be at a disadvantage. <br/><br/>Applications Management (Master Service Agreement) <br/><br/>Service includes applications management for core line of business (LOB) applications along with a service that supports business critical Azure cloud applications, integrations and analytics solutions, along with the enterprise-scale platform they consume. We also require a service that supports our M365 platform and its components. Bidders may pre-qualify across all Lots under this service or select the LOB services only or the Microsoft Azure and M365 support services only. <br/><br/>Scottish Water are considering insourcing the Service Desk function, but remain interested in the opportunities that the market can offer before finalising decision.
