Provision of Coaching Services

Park View School is seeking to appoint a provider to deliver the coaching services, management services, sports science, vocational education and logistical operations for each of the academies. To provide an overall management structure to deliver high quality sporting and education provision that enhances the overall student experience.

The appointed provider will be responsible for end-to-end delivery including coaching, education, sports science, pastoral care, and logistics.

We are seeking to deliver the following academies, fully staffed to deliver outstanding outcomes. We are requesting interested parties to submit a plan on the number of staff required and a budget model for this. We are expecting to see how the academies will be managed, what delivery will be in place for coaching, sports science, vocational teaching, cleaning, logistics and operational delivery of the sports academy.

Key to this is having staff who can manage the sports academies alongside delivering the pastoral aspects required within the academic environment. The current provider of these services only uses self-employed staff and we therefore believe that there will be no staff eligible for transfer under the TUPE Regulations.

To successfully award this tender, organisations need to demonstrate how they will achieve student numbers for the following sports academies. As it stands the existing provider has recruited the below estimated numbers based on new first years only:-

• Women's football - 34
• Men's football - 56
• Men's Rugby - 24
• Women's Rugby 26
• Cricket - 36
• Basketball - 10
• Athletics - 15

Currently there are 169 year 12 students. This is broken down into the following academic courses:-

• 79 Btec sport students
• 72 A levels
• 18 Active IQ

Those students take part in the following sports academies:-

• Men's Football 50
• Women's Football 38
• Cricket 33
• Men's Rugby 20
• Women's Rugby 11
• Athletics 14
• Netball 3
• Swimming 1

The contract also requires provision of transporting any recruited students into Park View 6th Form. The school has 8 x 16 seater Minibuses and a 9 seater minibus that are available for use. The cost of the lease and fuel is covered by the school budget. If required, the budget for fuel for the academic year is £35,000.

Park View School also requires the pitches to be maintained. The pitch maintenance is an optional service that can be subcontracted. If you are able to provide this service then you must demonstrate how you will maintain the grass pitches that we currently have. Describe what machinery you have and the experience of the ground staff who will undertake this. As this is an optional service it will not be included within the bid evaluation. You must provide the price of this service separately for information purposes only.
