Summary of the contracting process

League Football Education bought education and training services from Nottingham College: delivery of the BTEC Level 3 in Sport (Performance and Excellence) to apprentices aged 16–18 in the professional development phase at local football club academies. The work is described as taking place in the West Midlands. The requirement links vocational sport education with the development needs of young people training within professional football academies. Nottingham College was selected to deliver the programme. This is a specific education service for a defined apprentice group, rather than a general training or sports provision requirement.

The procurement is complete and has resulted in two active awards to Nottingham College. The first award was made on 3 September 2018, for £26,784, with a contract period from 4 September 2018 to 30 June 2019. A further award was made on 1 September 2026, for £35,136, covering 1 September 2026 to 27 June 2027. These are separate awards and values. The route was a negotiated procedure without prior publication, using a limited procurement method. The tender deadline was 3 September 2018 at 17:00. The published information identifies the service requirement but does not set out an evaluation basis. Small and medium-sized enterprises were considered suitable for the requirement.

For suppliers considering comparable education work for League Football Education, this procurement demonstrates demand for delivery of a defined vocational qualification to 16–18-year-old apprentices in professional football club academies. A credible competitor would need to deliver BTEC Level 3 Sport (Performance and Excellence) teaching suited to learners in the professional development phase, and work with the academy context and apprentice cohort. The awards show that Nottingham College delivered the requirement under a limited negotiated route, so suppliers should be prepared to demonstrate relevant education delivery capability and a fit with this specific learner group. Small and medium-sized enterprises were considered suitable, indicating the requirement was not restricted to large providers. The procurement concerns this qualification and audience, not sports education generally.
