Summary of the contracting process

League Football Education commissioned education services for apprentices aged 16–18 in the professional development phase at local football club academies. The requirement is to deliver the BTEC Level 3 in Sport (Performance and Excellence). The teaching is associated with Reaseheath College in Nantwich, Cheshire. The buyer is League Football Education. This is specialist vocational education for young people combining professional football development with formal sport qualifications, rather than general adult education or sports coaching alone.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Reaseheath College. The buyer used a negotiated procedure without prior publication. The first award was dated 1 September 2023, valued at £33,649.92, for a contract running from 4 September 2023 to 27 June 2025. A further award to the same supplier was dated 1 September 2026, valued at £41,136, for a contract running from 4 September 2026 to 27 June 2027. The original tender deadline was 1 September 2023. The published information describes the required qualification and learner group but gives no evaluation criteria or eligibility requirements beyond indicating suitability for SMEs.

For providers of vocational and further education, this award shows League Football Education’s demand for delivery of a Level 3 sports qualification to 16–18-year-old apprentices based at professional football club academies. A credible competitor would need to offer the relevant qualification and the teaching capability to serve learners in the professional development phase, with delivery suited to local club settings. The buyer selected a college for both recorded awards, indicating that an education provider able to organise structured qualification delivery for this specific learner group is well placed to compete. The requirement is identified as suitable for SMEs, so smaller providers may be relevant where they can demonstrate appropriate course delivery and reach.
