Summary of the contracting process

Sport England commissioned specialist safety consultancy services to create two guidance documents for community sports clubs: guidance on Martyn’s Law and guidance on good security practice. The scope also includes any supplementary materials that are required or recommended by the appointed supplier. The work is intended to help community sports clubs understand and apply security and legal good practice. Sport England is the buying organisation, based in Loughborough, and is a sub-central public authority. This requirement suits organisations able to research, draft and present clear, practical security guidance for the community sports sector, rather than suppliers providing physical security systems, equipment or construction works.

This procurement has been completed and a supplier has been selected. It used a direct award below the threshold, without competition, under a single lot. The award is recorded as pending and has a gross value of £60,000. The planned contract period runs from 9 November 2026 to 11 January 2027, with contract signature scheduled for 9 November 2026. The requirement was classified as safety consultancy services. The lot was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. Evaluation was therefore through a non-competitive direct-award route rather than an open tender, and the published outcome relates to the full guidance assignment.

For a supplier considering similar work for Sport England, this procurement demonstrates demand for concise, authoritative guidance that translates security legislation and good practice into usable advice for community sports clubs. Credible providers would need relevant knowledge of Martyn’s Law, venue or community-sport security, and the ability to interpret requirements for clubs with varied levels of resources and expertise. Strong capability in stakeholder engagement, evidence gathering, plain-English drafting, accessibility and production of supplementary materials would be relevant. The opportunity is accessible in principle to SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so a smaller specialist consultancy or mission-led organisation could be well placed where it can demonstrate dependable delivery and sector understanding.
