This invitation to tender relates to the procurement of support for the Alpha phase of Sport Wales’ Data & Insight project. The Alpha phase is focused on developing and testing a data pipeline that allows data to be ingested, cleaned, stored, brought together, and reported on. The objective of the procurement is to secure expertise that will both a. provide technical support in developing and refining the data pipeline, and, b. provide support in understanding the organisation's data culture, readiness, and capability to adopt and implement the pipeline and associated ways of working. The services procured must be practical, user-centred, and accessible. They should not only ensure that the technical solution is robust and effective but also help Sport Wales to assess and strengthen the organisational conditions required for sustainable adoption. This includes understanding people, processes, governance, and culture around data use, as well as what it would take to scale the solution.

"description": "The Alpha phase is focused on developing and testing a data pipeline that enables data to be ingested, cleaned, stored, combined, and reported on. The Alpha phase has been framed as a proof of concept [PoC], intended to test and validate approaches, build understanding of what is required to scale, and inform future phases. The procurement comprises two equally important and interdependent aspects: a. Technical support in developing and refining the data pipeline, and, b. Support in understanding Sport Wales\u2019 data culture, readiness, and capability to adopt and implement the pipeline and associated ways of working. The PoC is expected to enable Sport Wales to answer a small number of clearly defined, high-value investment-related questions that currently require significant manual effort to answer and would benefit from the triangulation of multiple data sources to provide a more complete and rounded evidence base."
