Summary of the contracting process

League Football Education commissioned education services from West Nottinghamshire College: delivery of the BTEC Level 3 in Sport (Performance and Excellence) to apprentices aged 16–18 in the professional development phase academies at local football clubs. The delivery location is Mansfield, Nottinghamshire. The requirement combines sports education with provision tailored to young apprentices in professional football academy settings.

The procurement is complete and West Nottinghamshire College was selected. The procedure was negotiated without prior publication. The first award was dated 1 September 2023, valued at £25,920, for a contract running from 4 September 2023 to 27 June 2025. A further active award to the same supplier was dated 1 September 2026, also valued at £25,920, for a contract running from 4 September 2026 to 27 June 2027. The tender submission deadline was 1 September 2023. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

This award demonstrates demand from League Football Education for specialist delivery of a Level 3 sport qualification to 16–18-year-old apprentices in professional football academy programmes. A credible competitor would need the teaching capability and capacity to deliver the BTEC Level 3 in Sport (Performance and Excellence) to this learner group, with provision suited to the professional development phase and local football-club setting. The selection of a college shows that an education provider can meet the requirement; the stated SME suitability also indicates that smaller providers were considered suitable for this work.
