About England Athletics

England Athletics (EA) develops grass roots athletics and running in England, supporting affiliated clubs to

prosper, developing more and better coaches and recruiting and supporting volunteers and officials. We

provide and support competition opportunities at an international (England representative), national, area

and county level.

Mission: To grow opportunities for everyone to experience athletics and running, to enable them to reach

their full potential

Vision: Athletics will be the most popular and inclusive sport in England, led by a network of progressive

clubs and organisations and supported by a sustainable, respected and trusted governing body

Key Values:

• Pride - We take pride in the work that we do and demonstrate commitment to our athletes in

recognition of the important role that we have to play. Athletics in England has a rich history and

heritage and we will celebrate the achievements of our athletes from today and yesteryear to

inspire future generations.

• Integrity - Our sport is founded on integrity. We will demonstrate this in all that we do to earn

respect and to build effective partnerships at all levels. We will challenge ourselves and each other

to ensure that we adhere to this value at all times.

• Inclusivity - Inclusivity is an important aspect of athletics and must be embraced at all levels of the

sport. We believe that athletics can contribute towards a healthy lifestyle and a sense of

achievement, whatever the age, ability or background of the athlete or volunteer. We should

promote inclusive working at all times and reflect this in our actions.

Strategic Priorities:

1. To expand the capacity of the sport by supporting and developing its volunteers and other

workforce

2. To sustain and increase participation and performance levels in our sport

3. To influence participation in the wider athletics market

EA works with UKA (United Kingdom Athletics) who also provide many services within athletics in England

and across the UK. UKA works to develop and sustain elite performance at world class level. It acts as a

policy maker and works with the home countries, including England Athletics, to secure resources to enable

the development of the sport at a grassroots level.

EA Digital Partner Opportunity

To help us to deliver our digital strategy we are looking to procure a new ‘digital partner’ to work in true

partnership with EA from February 2018 onwards. The reference to ‘partner’ rather than ‘supplier’ should

not be under estimated and we are looking for a company who will:

• Be reliable

• Be part of our team and work with us long term

• Be innovative

• Challenge our thinking and provide added value

• Deliver results

The appointment of a new digital partner for EA is critical for the organisation and we acknowledge that the

appointment will play a major part in our success and the delivery of our 2017-21 strategic plan.

EA Current Digital Footprint

Our current digital footprint is highly complex and is made up of over 30 different platforms, including the

following;

• England Athletics website

• Club management portal

• Member management portal

• Event entry and management system

• RunTogether platform

• ‘Trinity’ database

We are requesting the same data from users across multiple platforms and users are required to log in

across multiple platforms with different log in credentials.

There is a lack of clarity both internally and externally with regards to what platforms should be used to

complete key tasks and the customer experience could be greatly improved by looking at how we can

integrate user journeys across platforms.

EA have a shared service level agreement with UKA with regards to the provision of IT software and

hardware, core to this agreement is ‘Trinity.’ Trinity is a MSSQL database and collection of applications

managed by UKA under the shared services agreement, it is used by EA to process all club and athlete data.

Coaching and officiating data owned by UKA is also stored in Trinity, as is Welsh Athletics’ club and athlete

data, however EA members make up the largest proportion of the data.

EA Digital Strategy

EA have recently undertaken a large piece of work to create a digital strategy which will become the basis

for our digital footprint over the next 5 years.

INVITATION TO TENDER Digital Partner

Please treat all information in this document as private and confidential; strictly not to be shared outside of your agency.

Page 5 of 17

Our targeted digital strategy sets the future digital direction for England Athletics in line with our

organisational strategy, with a focus on key areas such as operations, commercial activity and value.

• Value:

o A user centric philosophy with demonstrable value for athletes and clubs.

• Commercial:

o Enhancement of existing revenue streams and creation of new revenue streams.

• Operations:

o Greater automation, simplified workflows.

o Greater flow of data, removal of silos.

o Optimising existing staff without the need to hire additional people.

Our digital strategy will adopt the following key concepts and digital principles:

Key Concepts:

• Open

o Be receptive to exploring the principles of open data and sharing appropriate data

o Use of open source technologies

o Enables innovation and provides higher return on investment

• Transparent

o Be transparent both within EA and outside of EA

o Require full transparency by all partners, with reciprocation

o Allows EA to be better informed and to make better decisions while ensuring greater

accountability

• Accessible

o Require the freedom to manage and change all EA systems and data, without any

barriers.

o Allows EA to be in control of their own destiny, at a pace they choose with the freedom

to invent.

Digital Principles:

1. Do fewer things better

2. Be user-centric i.e. start with the user and build layers around them

3. Be service-focused, with a more strategic approach to the delivery of content

4. Be interoperable

5. Offer value for money

6. Integrate appropriate leading solutions in a multi-platform / multi-vendor model

7. Create a platform that can comply with data protection legislation, both now and for the future

EA Future Digital Footprint

Based on the budget available and the ambition of EA we are adopting a multi-platform, multi-vendor

model to implement our digital strategy. In this model we will look to work with selected vendors, choosing

appropriate leading software platforms to create an application network.

INVITATION TO TENDER Digital Partner

Please treat all information in this document as private and confidential; strictly not to be shared outside of your agency.

Page 6 of 17

This application network enables EA to offer the best possible experience to its audiences by using tried

and tested off-the-shelf software, negating the need to heavily invest in the development and maintenance

of bespoke software.

The applications in the network will be loosely coupled using APIs. APIs (Application Programming

Interfaces) allow the different applications in the network to share data and thus create a seamless

customer experience.

Diagram 1: Proposed Digital Footprint

Digital Requirements

The digital requirements and the role that our ‘digital partner’ plays in delivering these requirements will be

open to discussion as part of the tender process, however, some of the main elements that we can foresee

at this current time are detailed below.

1. A new EA website (Phase 1)

Creation of a new multisite web platform which will predominantly be used to signpost users to the

various services offered and managed by England Athletics. The website will have a strong

emphasis on customer experience and should help us to deliver optimised user journeys across our

multiple platforms.

The website will be fully responsive working across all devices and will meet required accessibility

standards to ensure that all users have equal access to information and functionality.

A comprehensive, efficient and effective CMS will be integrated as part of the website which will

provide EA with as much control as possible over content, template designs, user management etc.

Please treat all information in this document as private and confidential; strictly not to be shared outside of your agency.

Page 7 of 17

2. Content Review & Strategy (Phase 1)

A review of current content, gap analysis and formulation of a content strategy for the organisation

moving forwards will need to be completed for us to determine how to best service the needs of

our key audiences.

3. Visual Language Guidelines (Phase 1)

Creation of a set of digital guidelines to be applied across the design and build of our multiple

platforms. This will help to improve the user experience across our multiple platforms through

ensuring consistency in design and interaction.

4. Athletics Dashboard (Phase 1)

Creation of a dashboard for the user to access a personalised view of the key activities aligned to

their participation in Athletics. This will be an essential part of the new digital strategy to ensure

the user is placed at the heart of the digital landscape.

5. Single Sign-On Service (SSO)*

To enable synchronisation across a multi-platform, multi-vendor application network, we want to

develop an EA SSO service which allows users to log in across various platforms using a single set of

log in credentials.

6. Data Synchronisation*

The core challenge in an application network, is one of data synchronisation. Appropriate user data

will need to be synchronised across the network to provide the best customer experience to all

users, for example, if a user updates their email address in the Competitive Events application, that

change should be synchronised across the other applications. Your proposal should include

recommendations for what data synchronisation techniques will be used to keep the various

applications synchronised and evidence of expertise in this area of work.

7. Software services

Several software providers are already being used to underpin our key services e.g. Clubspark

(RunTogether) and Full On Sport (Event Management). More providers will come on board over the

next few months. ^ The website will be the conduit/ access point for the various services. The role

of the Digital Partner, as the developer of the website, will be co-ordinate the delivery of the

strategy. Therefore, we need to know that we are entering a relationship with a partner who can

work effectively with other agencies.

8. CRM / Customer Support / Email Platform

A third-party platform that will be used to deliver customer support and marketing

communications. This will enable EA to:

• Manage support conversations and track responses

INVITATION TO TENDER Digital Partner

Please treat all information in this document as private and confidential; strictly not to be shared outside of your agency.

Page 8 of 17

• Coordinate our marketing communications across the organisation and enable

segmentation of users and targeted communications

• Implement marketing automation

• Deliver email marketing campaigns

9. Hosting & Hardware Maintenance

A fully managed hosting solution, deployed on cloud based web services. Includes the provision of

all hardware, such as servers and load balancers that live in a data centre, with an accompanying

content delivery network that speeds up delivery of the application to any user, anywhere in the

world.

10. Software Maintenance

The software maintenance service will be used to ensure that all applicable software is safe, secure

and fully up to date. The practical work involved will include performing software updates such as

security patches, operating system updates, checking the performance of the project using

monitoring software, checking system logs for any errors as well as identifying opportunities to

improve system performance.

11. Ongoing Maintenance and SLA

We will require continual ongoing service based on a pre-agreed amount of time per month with

regards to maintaining service, site performance and speed, bugs, small developmental changes

and system improvements. Where relevant this should include out of hours support.

Due the nature of the work and the fast-moving nature of the digital environment it is more than likely that

the requirements from our appointed digital partner will move and shift on an ongoing basis. Therefore,

the list above is not an exclusive list of requirements and may change based on discussions throughout the

partnership. If there are additional elements that you believe will be critical to the delivery of our digital

strategy, please include these in your proposal documentation.

*Owing to the current shared service agreement and database management model in operation, the IT

department at UK Athletics IT will need to be involved in all integration projects. For these aspects,

additional budget will be available and therefore not currently included within the £160,000 allocation.

^Services will be funded separately on a project by project basis and therefore not currently included

within the £160,000 allocation.
