Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

League Football Education is buying education delivery for 16–18-year-old apprentices in the professional development phase at local football club academies. The service is delivery of the BTEC Level 3 in Sport (Performance and Excellence), supporting apprentices’ vocational education alongside their football development. The work is for delivery in London. The selected provider is Carshalton Boys Sports College. This is a specialist sports education service focused on young people undertaking an academy apprenticeship, rather than general adult education or coaching alone.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Carshalton Boys Sports College. The award date was 1 September 2026, and the contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 27 June 2027. The awarded contract value is £50,000. The procurement used a negotiated procedure without prior publication. The tender deadline was 31 August 2026 at 5pm. The service was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The available information does not state an evaluation formula or lot structure, so there is no published basis here for comparing quality and price or identifying separate packages.

The award shows demand from League Football Education for a provider able 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. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need relevant sports education expertise, the ability to teach and support this age group, and capacity to deliver within the academy football setting in London. The selected provider is a sports college, indicating that an education provider with relevant course delivery capability can meet the requirement. The procurement was suitable for SMEs, so the scale did not exclude smaller providers. Experience working with football academies and apprentices would be pertinent to demonstrating fit with this buyer’s specific education requirement.
