Read the current version: Gold Framework - 2023 edition

The Gold Framework sets out how the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) and UK Sport work jointly to support the bidding for and staging of major sporting events at a UK-level. It replaced the first Gold Framework (2015 edition), which was published in 2015.

The framework is aimed at major sporting events not resident in the UK and typically involving a competitive bidding process. The framework determines which events could be supported at a UK-level and what resources and investment are available to help secure and stage these events.
