        <title>Sports subcontracting in Surrey (basketball)</title>
        <description>
          <p>We are seeking partners to support in the delivery of an elite basketball performance programme in the Guildford area. Partners must be able to provide sporting facilities for approximately 20 16-18-year-old learners including: a full-size basketball court (indoors) and changing rooms. </p>
          <p>Partners will be expected to provide top level coaching staff to develop the basketball skills, and aid with future progression of learners.</p>
          <p>Activate learning staff will deliver the educational elements of the programme with the partner providing sports and coaching sessions, support in providing work experience, and the opportunity to play in top-level games. </p>
          <p>Partners will seek to attract learners from underrepresented demographics and conduct community outreach work including the provision of work experience for our learners.</p>
          <p>All applicants will demonstrate robust quality assurance practices, health and safety, child protection and safeguarding policies.</p>
          <p>The successful partner will need to work with us within the limitations of the 16-19 funding lagged funding formula whereby successful delivery in 26/27 will lead to lagged funding being received by all parties in 27/28. </p>
