The brief

Sport England is tendering for a PR and communications agency to support our behaviour change campaigns, specifically This Girl Can, our campaign to help women get active and get moving.

Sport England is seeking through this tendering process to award a contract to provide these (Services) for an initial term of 24 months and a unilateral option of Sport England to extend for further periods up to a maximum of 12 months.

The successful supplier will be able to drive positive media coverage that supports Sport England's integrated behaviour change campaigns and communications, specifically This Girl Can.

This includes identifying opportunities to generate media coverage, creating materials, briefing and events and securing media interest with key journalists, publications and programmes.
