PE and School Sport Partnership Network - Market Engagement Event

The Department for Education, supported by the Department for Health and Social Care and Department for Culture Media and Sport, is seeking a national delivery partner to design, implement, and manage a PE and School Sport Partnership Network across England. This market engagement event on 1 June 2026 (3pm-5pm) invites potential suppliers to learn about a major procurement opportunity valued at approximately £570 million over 3 years (contract range: £560-580 million). The Network will build partnerships between schools, local clubs, and National Governing Bodies to increase sport and physical activity participation, improve provision quality, and optimise facility use. It will specifically target reducing inactivity among children from less affluent backgrounds, Black and Asian communities, pupils with SEND, and girls. The engagement event will share programme details, contract information, and address supplier questions. Key objectives include gathering feasibility insights on contract value, delivery models, digital platform capabilities, QA frameworks, and identifying service mobilisation risks. Interested suppliers must register on the Department's e-tendering portal, Jaggaer (https://education.app.jaggaer.com/), to access this opportunity.
