UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Southwark Council is exploring future arrangements for the delivery and management of football league activity at Burgess Park Sports Ground, Cobourg Road, London SE5. The requirement is for sporting services covering the organisation and administration of ground football leagues and competitions, including the way league activity is delivered and managed. The council is seeking views from organisations with relevant experience so it can understand available solutions, market capability and capacity, and potential approaches to the requirement. The work would be delivered at Burgess Park Sports Ground in Southwark, London. The planned service is classified as sporting services. This is a local-authority service opportunity focused on football league operations rather than construction, facilities works or the supply of sports equipment.

This procurement is at the planning stage and is currently a preliminary market engagement exercise, not an invitation to tender. Southwark Council expects to use supplier responses to develop its procurement strategy and specification. Interested organisations are invited to complete a market engagement questionnaire by 22 October 2026; participation will not form part of a formal procurement or confer an advantage or disadvantage in any later competition. The council indicates that a subsequent notice may be published by 31 January 2027. The planned contract period is 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2029. The stated procurement value is £1 including VAT. One lot is planned, with the procurement classified as a services requirement and below the relevant threshold.

This engagement will suit organisations that run or administer football leagues and competitions, particularly those able to demonstrate practical experience of organising fixtures, managing league operations and supporting participating teams. The council is specifically seeking insight from suppliers with experience in delivering and administering football league activity, so businesses with established operating models, suitable staffing and the capacity to manage activity at a public sports ground should prepare to contribute. The planned lot is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises, widening the potential field beyond large commercial operators. Community football providers, specialist sports-management businesses and social enterprises with relevant delivery capability may therefore find the future requirement commercially relevant. There is no stated accreditation requirement at this planning stage.
