Summary of the contracting process

League Football Education (LFE) bought education services to deliver the BTEC Level 3 in Sport (Performance and Excellence) to apprentices aged 16–18 in the professional development phase at academy-level local football clubs. Delivery was in the North East of England. The requirement was for a defined vocational sports qualification for young people combining apprenticeship training with professional football development. The procurement was categorised as adult and other education services.

The procurement is complete. LFE used a negotiated procedure without prior publication. The stated submission deadline was 3 September 2018 at 5pm. Woodhouse Grove School was awarded the contract on 3 September 2018 for £25,920, covering 4 September 2018 to 30 June 2019. A further active award to the same supplier was dated 1 September 2026, valued at £45,509.76, with a contract period from 1 September 2026 to 27 June 2027. Small and medium-sized enterprises were considered suitable. The supplied information does not state evaluation criteria or how bids were assessed.

The awards show LFE purchasing delivery of a specific Level 3 sports qualification for 16–18-year-old apprentices based in professional football academies. A supplier seeking to compete for this requirement when it next returns would need to be able to deliver the BTEC in Sport (Performance and Excellence) to this age group and fit provision around the professional development phase at local football clubs. The repeat award indicates demand from LFE for this defined education service, with Woodhouse Grove School selected on both occasions. The information supports relevance for education providers able to deliver this qualification and serve academy apprentices; it does not identify particular accreditations, staffing levels or other selection requirements.
