Description

Sport England would like to invite suppliers to a virtual early engagement session to discuss the Collective Evaluation and Learning for System Partners on the 10th January. Sport England's strategy Uniting the Movement was launched in 2021. At the heart of the strategy is a commitment to tackle inequalities and unlock the advantages of sport and physical activity for everyone. We are revolutionising our long-term partnership approach through how we invest in and support partners. These long-term partners, or System Partners, play a significant role in the sport and physical activity system, and ultimately have a critical role in implementing Uniting the Movement. Through the System Partner work we want to make the most of our collective resources and capabilities to tackle inequalities. We need to develop ways to track change, understand impact and learn together so that we can continually improve. We have been collaborating with System Partners to develop our thinking about what needs to be included in the Collective Evaluation and Learning for System Partners. Our hypothesis is that by improving our effectiveness as individual organisations (Better Organisations) and improving the connections and collaboration between us as a group of partners (Better Connected Systems) we will maximise our overall contribution to the shared ambitions of Uniting the Movement (Better Community Impact). The evaluation, and subsequent learning, will act as a catalyst to enhance how we work to develop our collaborative approach and understand the success of this work. We are therefore, looking to appoint an Evaluation and Learning Partner to help manage and support the collective evaluation and learning. The Evaluation and Learning Partner will play a critical role in ensuring the evaluation meets the needs of partners and Sport England.
