Summary of the contracting process

Trafford College procured football subcontracting services as part of its education and training provision. The opportunity is centred on football-related delivery for the Trafford & Stockport College Group, with the buyer based at Trafford College on Manchester Road, Manchester. The recorded delivery locations cover the United Kingdom and a range of wider locations, including Europe, the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. This is a services contract rather than a supply or construction requirement. The named supplier, Stockport County 2010 Limited, is based at Edgeley Park, Hardcastle Road, Stockport. The procurement is classified under education and training services, so it is relevant to football organisations able to support college-linked training delivery.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Stockport County 2010 Limited on 20 August 2026. The awarded value is £1,639,617, against an estimated procurement value of £1,639,000, both in GBP. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. It used a limited negotiated procedure without prior publication and was evaluated as a football subcontracting services requirement. The tender submission deadline was 12 August 2026 at 1pm. Trafford College identified the opportunity as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award is active, and the procurement status is complete. The award information records one supplier and one contract period.

This award demonstrates a substantial, defined demand from Trafford College for football subcontracting within education and training. A business considering similar work for this buyer would need to combine credible football delivery with the ability to operate as an education-sector subcontractor. The successful supplier was Stockport County 2010 Limited, indicating that an established football organisation can be a suitable delivery partner for this type of requirement. Relevant competitors would benefit from demonstrable capability to provide structured football services for a college group, manage delivery at the required scale and work within a formal public procurement route. SME suitability suggests that smaller football clubs, academies or specialist providers may be relevant where they can evidence the necessary operational capacity and education-facing capability.
