    Brief

    UK Sport is seeking legal service providers to deliver a 2-year pilot scheme providing dedicated legal representation and advice services to coaches in the UK's World Class Performance Programmes. This initiative responds to findings from the Whyte Review (2023) and the Care for Coaches report (2024), which identified legal support as a critical unmet need for high-performance coaches facing complex employment, contract, safeguarding, and disciplinary challenges. The pilot will empower coaches with access to high-quality, timely legal support while informing the development of the Independent Coaches Body's long-term legal support model. The service should cover employment matters, contract negotiations, and representation in disciplinary or safeguarding proceedings. While experience in sports law and high-performance environments is valued, applications from providers outside the sports sector are also welcome. The contract is valued at £400,000-£450,000 (inclusive of VAT) for the full 2-year term, with payment made only for work delivered. This procurement is part of UK Sport's strategic commitment to creating safer, more inclusive, and supportive environments within elite sport and professionalizing the coaching workforce.
