Summary of the contracting process

The United Kingdom Sports Council, located in London, has completed a procurement process titled "FWWC 35 Bid Support", under the industry category of service-based business and management consultancy. This process involved supporting host cities from the FWWC 35 bid through the FIFA Congress, including managing FIFA site visits and city deliverables negotiations. The procurement was conducted directly, without competition, as it was below the threshold limit. The contract, valued at £35,000, with a total gross amount of £42,000, will run from 10 December 2025 to 1 May 2026. As of 9 December 2025, the procurement stage advanced to the award phase, pending completion.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities for companies specialising in consultancy services, particularly those proficient in large-scale event coordination and international sports negotiations. SMEs like "Purple Moon", awarded the contract, are well-suited to the nature of work required due to their agile structure and ability to provide bespoke solutions. Competition in this market is reduced by the procurement method, which prefers direct selection over open competition, offering an edge to businesses with niche expertise in this field. Organisations aiming to support major sporting events can leverage similar contracts to enhance their portfolio and expand their service offerings.
