Summary of the contracting process

League Football Education buys education services for apprentices aged 16–18 in the professional development phase academies at local football clubs. The requirement is delivery of the BTEC Level 3 in Sport (Performance and Excellence), supporting young players’ education alongside their football development. The recorded delivery location is Myerscough College in Bilsborrow, near Preston. The work is education and vocational training rather than general sports coaching; suppliers would need to deliver the specified BTEC qualification to this apprentice group.

The procurement is complete and has resulted in two active awards to Myerscough College. The first award was made on 1 September 2023, worth £28,800, for a contract running from 4 September 2023 to 27 June 2025. A further award was made on 1 September 2026, worth £69,120, for a contract running from 4 September 2026 to 27 June 2027. The original estimated tender value was £28,800 and the submission deadline was 1 September 2023. The buyer used a negotiated procedure without prior publication. Small and medium-sized enterprises were considered suitable. The award information does not state the evaluation criteria or explain the basis for selecting the supplier.

This award demonstrates recurring demand from League Football Education for a provider able to deliver BTEC Level 3 Sport (Performance and Excellence) to 16–18-year-old apprentices attached to professional development phase academies at local football clubs. A credible competitor would need relevant vocational education delivery capability and the capacity to teach this qualification to an apprentice cohort in the football academy setting. The repeat award indicates that the requirement has continued beyond the initial contract, and the second award is substantially larger than the first, suggesting a larger contract opportunity for a future provider. The buyer used a negotiated procedure without prior publication for this procurement, so suppliers should be prepared for a route that is not an openly advertised competition.
