Description

Grant making represents a core strand of Sport England's mission for Uniting the Movement and a critical means of funding organisations of all shapes and sizes. Our grant funding comes from His Majesty's Government Treasury department, known at Exchequer funding, and from The National Lottery. This funding is delivered through a number of funding programmes with a broad mix of funding types, some low volume, but high value and multi-year through to high volume, low value, single payments. We typically make around 4,000 to 5,000 awards a year across the programmes. Grant making is one of the primary reasons Sport England was founded and our ability to deliver grants cannot be put at risk.

Our current systems and process have proven robust and provided exceptional return on investment. However, it is now in need of replacement. We have two core systems that make up our legacy estate, and we are seeking a new, tried and trusted grant making system; one that offers a step change across the board and helps us operate more efficiently by embracing modern technology and ways of working. We expect the system to excel and delight our customers, with an intuitive, feature rich grant portal to service their needs. We expect to see high level of validation and automation within the system to reduce work for our customers and users.
