SE1051 Active Places and GIS Managed Service

Active Places, the national sports facility database and its user interfaces, underpin the strategic planning of sports provision in England. Mapping and geospatial analysis within Active Places, and wider Sport England systems, are provided by an associated geospatial infrastructure which supplies both data and geoprocessing (i.e. routing/catchment, geocoding, proximity) services.

Active Places is now in excess of 10-years old. Consequently, the database and supporting web-interfaces are based on ageing code and technologies. These technologies have a limited support lifetime and constrain full benefits realisation. Active Places and the current GIS hosting solution do not maximise cloud-based technologies creating inflexibility in the system. To support Sport England's new strategy, Uniting the Movement, and growth in Place-Based working, we are seeking to reshape, realign and redevelop Active Places and its allied GIS infrastructure to ensure the organisation and wider sector can fully leverage the benefits from the sports facility data held in Active Places and Sport England's other corporate spatial data holdings.
