Summary of the contracting process

League Football Education bought education and training services from Shrewsbury College: delivery of the BTEC Level 3 in Sport (Performance and Excellence) to 16–18-year-old apprentices in the professional development phase academies of local football clubs. The provision is focused on young football academy apprentices undertaking advanced sport study alongside their development in the game. The identified delivery location is Shrewsbury, at the college’s London Road address. This is a specialist education requirement combining BTEC course delivery with an understanding of the needs and context of professional football academy apprentices.

The procurement is complete and awarded to Shrewsbury College. The first award was made on 1 September 2023, for £34,560, with a contract period from 4 September 2023 to 27 June 2025. A further active award to the same supplier was made on 1 September 2026, valued at £36,864, for a contract period from 4 September 2026 to 27 June 2027. The process used a negotiated procedure without prior publication. The stated submission deadline was 1 September 2023 at 17:00. The requirement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses. No separate evaluation criteria or lot structure are recorded in the process details.

The awards show recurring demand from League Football Education for delivery of a defined Level 3 sport qualification to apprentices in professional football academies. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need the capacity and expertise to deliver BTEC Level 3 Sport (Performance and Excellence) to learners aged 16–18, and to make that provision work within the professional development phase of local football clubs. Relevant education delivery capability and familiarity with academy apprentices’ circumstances are central to matching the requirement awarded to Shrewsbury College. The prior award to a college classed as an SME indicates that this work has been delivered by a smaller education provider; suppliers with an appropriate course offer and ability to serve this specialist learner group may therefore find the requirement relevant.
