## Summary

The Sheffield City Council is conducting a procurement process titled "The Football Association Operator Procurement For Sheffield Football Hubs", aimed at managing new football hub sites in Sheffield as part of the Parklife Project. Classified under recreational, cultural and sporting services, this contract is valued at £18.5 million and is currently in the award stage. The contract period is set to commence on 1 April 2016 and run until 1 July 2025. The tender was originally published on 20 July 2015, with the submission deadline having been 11 September 2015.

This endeavour presents significant opportunities for businesses looking to expand in the sporting sector, particularly those with experience in facility management and recreational services. Companies that can provide innovative solutions for managing sporting facilities, particularly those focused on community engagement and youth development, would be well-positioned to compete for this contract. Furthermore, given the potential for further rollouts in major cities across England, businesses involved in this sector could benefit from increased visibility and collaboration opportunities through this initiative.

## Notice

The FA is working with Sport England and Sheffield City Council ('the Council') to develop a number of new 'football hub' sites in Sheffield as part of the City of Sheffield 'Parklife Project'. The FA, Sport England and the Council (together 'the project partners') are seeking to procure an operator to manage the facilities on behalf of a new city-wide 'Football Trust' that will be established. Construction of the Hubs is being procured independently of this procurement process. If this pilot project in Sheffield is successful, the FA intends to establish similar Football Trusts in up to 30 of England's largest cities or unitary local authorities, although the wider rollout does not form part of this process.
