Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Nottingham City Council partnered with Swim England to support swimming lessons delivered through its Sport & Leisure Services. The arrangement covers swim lesson badges used in the council’s learn-to-swim programme, alongside compliance observations, quality assurance and governing body support. The work helps ensure lessons are safe, effective and aligned with recognised national standards. Delivery is in the East Midlands.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Swim England on 5 August 2026 following an open procedure below the procurement threshold. The award value is £95,000. The contract period runs from 6 August 2026 to 31 December 2029. The original submission deadline was 5 August 2026 at 12:00. The procurement was identified as suitable for SMEs. The award covers the council’s swimming lesson badge provision and associated compliance, quality assurance and governing body support.

For suppliers considering comparable work for Nottingham City Council, this award shows demand for specialist swimming-sector support tied to public swimming lessons and learn-to-swim programmes. A credible provider would need to supply lesson badges and offer governing-body expertise, compliance observations and quality assurance, with the ability to help maintain safe delivery against recognised national standards. The selected supplier, Swim England, is the sport’s governing and awarding body, indicating the value of established sector authority and relevant programme credentials. The procurement was marked suitable for SMEs, suggesting that a smaller specialist supplier may be relevant if it can deliver this combined support at the required scale.
