A Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) – Grand Depart GB 2027 – will maintain oversight of the delivery of the events and will manage public funding on behalf of DCMS, Scottish Government, Welsh Government and UK Sport. 

The SPV is a Joint Venture between UKEL (a new sports events company) and British Cycling. 

British Cycling will deliver the operational and business function, social impact and volunteer programmes along with all consumer facing functions, on behalf of partners, and is now recruiting to grow the volunteer support team.
