Data Services Sports Content (All Olympic and Paralympic sports and disciplines)

UK Sport provides strategic investment to enable Great Britain's Olympic and Paralympic sports and athletes to achieve national inspiration.

UK Sport wishes to be granted access to non-exclusive sports performance data with the aim of providing UK Sport (and UK Sport's wholly owned subsidiary the English Institute of Sport (EIS)) with relevant data to use for analysis, manipulation, interpretation and communication to sports in order to make strategic investment decisions and to be used for data centric understanding of performance.

Because UK Sport shall use such data to compare all aspects of the performances of GB athletes and teams with their competitors from as far back as 1993, the breadth and depth of the data required is wide in scope.

To clarify UK Sport is seeking the supply of sports performance data from all sports competitions (across all Olympic and Paralympic sports), not just from the Olympic and Paralympic Games.

The services will include the delivery of historical and 'live' sports performance data across all Olympic and Paralympic sports (including individual disciplines within such sports).

This covers all relevant international competitions at youth, junior and senior levels from: continental championships, world cups, regional games, (including equivalent competitions), world cups and championships, Commonwealth games, Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Competitions that lead to Olympic and Paralympic qualification are also to be included.
