Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Merton commissioned sports coordination services to increase and sustain the borough’s participation in the London Youth Games and London Mini Marathon Championship. The work covers recruiting and supporting young people to enter more events and race waves, improving participation and representation across Merton, and developing community physical-activity opportunities connected to both competitions. It also includes identifying young people for para and inclusive events, addressing barriers to entry raised by young people, and enabling them to shape the local programme through feedback. The coordinator is expected to help provide a safe, inclusive and enjoyable experience for participants, staff and volunteers. Delivery is for Merton, with the buyer based at the Civic Centre in Morden.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Sean McInnes Sports Coaching Limited. The award was made on 23 July 2026 at £170,000. The award record gives a contract period from 1 September 2026 to 1 September 2028, while the tender information gives an overall period ending 31 August 2029. The estimated procurement range was £165,000 to £170,000. Merton used an open procedure. The tender deadline was 23 July 2026 at noon. The procurement was for one coordinated service rather than separate lots, and the stated suitability assessment marked it as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises. No evaluation criteria are reported.

For suppliers considering comparable work with Merton, this award shows a requirement combining sports-event coordination, youth engagement and inclusive community activity, rather than sports coaching alone. A credible provider would need to organise and sustain participation across the London Youth Games and London Mini Marathon Championship, support entry into multiple events and waves, and reach young people across the borough. Experience engaging young people, gathering and acting on their feedback, identifying participants for para and inclusive competition, and overcoming participation barriers would be directly relevant. Delivery also calls for the ability to provide safe, inclusive and enjoyable experiences for participants, staff and volunteers, while building community physical-activity opportunities around the competitions. The buyer ran an open procedure, but the procurement was recorded as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises; this signals a requirement to demonstrate sufficient delivery capacity for a borough-wide programme.
