Description

The Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) is looking to procure a supplier to provide independent technical assurance to the multi-sport facility projects being funded through the Multi-Sport Grassroots Facilities programme. The programme is being delivered in England through the Football Foundation, and by the Football Associations in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

The assurance we are seeking is for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland only. This is because technical assurance is already being delivered for projects in England via the Sport England framework. Appointing a separate supplier for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland will provide an extra layer of delivery confidence to ensure all funded projects can be delivered effectively and represent value for money for the government, the club and its partners. The supplier will need to be in place as soon as possible to help assess bids/projects looking to deliver from April 2024, and provide advice and guidance to projects already being delivered.
