Summary of the contracting process

League Football Education procured education services for apprentices aged 16–18 in the professional development phase at local football clubs. The work is delivery of the BTEC Level 3 in Sport (Performance and Excellence), providing vocational sports education to young footballers alongside their academy development. The procurement is associated with the East of England. The named buyer is League Football Education; Nene Park Academy is the selected provider. This is a specialist education requirement within football academies, rather than a general adult education or broad sports coaching service.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Nene Park Academy through a limited negotiated procedure without prior publication. The award date was 3 September 2018. The award value was £25,920, with a contract period from 4 September 2018 to 30 June 2019. A further active award to the same provider records a contract period from 1 September 2026 to 27 June 2027 and a value of £25,920. The original tender estimate was also £25,920. The requirement was identified as suitable for SMEs. No lots are recorded. The service specification was delivery of the BTEC Level 3 in Sport (Performance and Excellence) to 16–18-year-old apprentices in local football club academies.

For suppliers considering this buyer’s future academy education requirements, the award demonstrates demand for delivery of a recognised Level 3 sports qualification to 16–18-year-old apprentices in the professional development phase. A credible competitor would need to provide the specified BTEC Sport (Performance and Excellence) teaching and support delivery in the context of local football clubs and their academy programmes. The recorded contract was delivered by a school, so education providers with relevant qualification-delivery capability and the capacity to work with football academies are the closest fit. The requirement was marked suitable for SMEs, indicating that smaller education providers may be relevant competitors. The limited negotiated route used for this procurement is also relevant to understanding how this particular requirement was sourced.
