Summary of the contracting process

League Football Education procured education services for 16–18-year-old apprentices in the professional development phase academy at local football clubs. The requirement was delivery of the BTEC Level 3 in Sport (Performance and Excellence). The work was associated with London. The procurement title refers to delivery of education for LFE, and the stated course and learner group indicate a specialist sports education requirement rather than general college teaching.

The procurement is complete and has resulted in two active awards to Cranford Community College. The first award was made on 3 September 2018 for £29,376, with a contract period from 4 September 2018 to 30 June 2019. A further award was made on 1 September 2026 for £41,904, covering 1 September 2026 to 27 June 2027. The route was a negotiated procedure without prior publication, using a limited procurement method. The underlying tender record gives a submission deadline of 3 September 2018. No evaluation criteria or separate lots are recorded in the process information.

For a future requirement from League Football Education, credible suppliers would need to deliver the BTEC Level 3 in Sport (Performance and Excellence) to 16–18-year-old apprentices in professional development phase academies at local football clubs. Relevant strengths include sports education expertise and the ability to teach a specialist qualification to learners combining study with football development. The successful provider was a community college, and the procurement was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, indicating that a supplier need not necessarily be a large education group to be relevant. The repeat award demonstrates demand for the same focused course delivery, with delivery associated with London. Providers whose experience and capacity fit this learner group and setting are the closest comparators.
