## Description

DfE is looking to procure the services of a national delivery partner to support schools to open school sports facilities and provide greater access and opportunities for pupils to access extra-curricular sport and physical activity\. The objective of this work is to support schools to open their facilities outside of the normal school day \(evenings, weekends, and holidays\) to allow young people more opportunity to be physically active, with an aim to create national coverage and support more schools to provide inclusive facilities and opportunities for pupils with SEND\. This will include funding for what schools require to open in a COVID-secure manner\. The potential contractor must have national reach, either by Consortiums, building partnerships or using existing regional infrastructure\. Additional information: Once the ITT has closed, applications will undergo an initial desktop assessment based on the criteria and weighting set out in the prospectus and application pack, following which there will be a moderation of those results before final award and mobilisation\. The DfE will administer the procurement processes electronically via the DfE e-Tendering Portal: Jaggaer\. No hard copy documents will be issued and all communications with DfE \(including final submission of tenders\) will be conducted via the Jaggaer Portal\. Bidders who are not already registered on the portal can register here: https://education\.app\.jaggaer\.com When registered and signed in to Jaggaer you will need to express an interest in the opportunity to be able to access all relevant documentation including the application pack\. For any assistance required in registering bidders should contact the Jaggaer helpdesk: help\_UK@jaggaer\.com
