Summary of the contracting process

League Football Education commissioned education services for 16–18-year-old apprentices in the professional development phase of academy programmes at local football clubs. The work is delivery of the BTEC Level 3 in Sport (Performance and Excellence), providing sport-related vocational education alongside the apprentices’ football development. Burton and South Derbyshire College was selected to provide the service. Delivery is associated with Burton-on-Trent, Staffordshire, at the college’s DE14 3RL location. The requirement is therefore focused on teaching and delivering this specific sport qualification to young people in a football academy setting, rather than general adult education or a broad programme of services. The procurement is categorised as education services (CPV 80400000).

The procurement is complete and has resulted in two active awards to Burton and South Derbyshire College. The first award, dated 1 September 2023, was valued at £26,496, for a contract period from 4 September 2023 to 27 June 2025. The second award, dated 1 September 2026, was valued at £33,280, for a contract period from 4 September 2026 to 27 June 2027. The original estimated procurement value was £26,496. The process used a negotiated procedure without prior publication, described as limited. The submission deadline was 1 September 2023 at 5pm. The opportunity was marked suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. No evaluation basis or lot breakdown is stated in the procurement information.

This buyer’s awards show demand for delivery of a defined vocational sport qualification to 16–18-year-old apprentices in professional football academy programmes. A supplier competing for the same requirement would need to be able to teach the BTEC Level 3 in Sport (Performance and Excellence) and deliver it in a way that fits the academy apprentice audience and its professional development phase. The requirement is education delivery, not simply sports coaching or general classroom provision, so relevant qualification-delivery capability is central to being credible. The selected provider was a college, and the procurement was identified as suitable for SMEs, indicating that smaller education providers may be relevant competitors where they can deliver this specific programme. The repeat awards demonstrate that the buyer has procured the service across separate periods.
