Lot Lot 1A: Leading the Movement Knowledge Hub The Knowledge Hub Support is a new element to the service, specifically intended to act as a central point of contact, a single point of access for participants, and a lead for the communication and coordination for the Leading the Movement programme. The provider will ensure that participants will be presented with a coherent offer and joined-up experience. The provider of the Knowledge Hub Support service will be responsible for delivering this proactive and transparent approach. Lot Lot 2 B: Place- Based Leadership The provider of the Place-based Leadership element of the programme is specifically responsible for collaborating proactively with the provider of the Knowledge Hub Support. The provider of the Place-based Leadership element of the programme is specifically responsible for working with the provider of the Impact, Evaluation and Learning element of the programme to gather feedback and evidence, including case studies. The Place-based Leadership element of the Leading the Movement programme will be closely aligned to Sport England’s approach to Place Partnerships and is intended to deliver place-based leadership programmes for Sport England Place Partners. These will be for defined geographic localities (varying in size) that will be involved in the expansion of our Place Partnerships programme. Lot 4 D: Impact, Evaluation & Learning Services The Impact, Evaluation and Learning element of the Leading the Movement programme will be a new service and will play a vital role in developing a clear picture of the impact of the programme whilst informing the future development of the programme. The provider of the service will work across all elements of the programme, collaborating with all of the programme providers and recognising the interdependencies between the different elements of the programme. The provider of the service will coordinate the gathering of relevant evaluation information from the other service providers in a timely manner and will carry out additional research to explore the impact and inform the development of the programme. The Impact, Evaluation and Learning service will need to incorporate a combination of quantitative and qualitative research and analysis, with robust data being supplemented by appropriate case studies and other illustrative examples. Further, the approach will need to be sensitive to the evolving and flexible nature of the Leading the Movement programme, and importantly, be accessible and inclusive in its approaches to data capture and reporting. The provider of this service will be responsible for developing a Theory of Change for the programme, designing standardised data-capture methods, collating evidence and evaluating the impact of the programme. This will build from Sport England's own Theory of Change and KPIs, existing Place evaluations and the System Partner Measurement, Evaluation and Learning programme which includes measures on 'better organisations' including decision making, diverse leadership and good governance. Learnings from the programme will be shared regularly with Sport England, providers, Co-Design Group and partners.
