## Summary

League Football Education (LFE) bought education services to deliver the BTEC Level 3 in Sport (Performance and Excellence). The course is for 16–18-year-old apprentices in the professional development phase academy at local football clubs. Delivery is in North West England. The requirement is specialist sports education for young people combining an apprenticeship with academy-level football development, rather than general adult education. The service supports learners to gain a recognised Level 3 qualification alongside their development in the professional game. The named buyer is League Football Education, based in Preston.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to University Academy 92 Limited. The award date was 1 September 2026, and the contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 27 June 2027. The awarded value is £64,800. The initial estimated value was also £64,800. The buyer used a negotiated procedure without prior publication, using a limited procurement method. The stated submission deadline was 31 August 2026. The procurement was presented as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. No lot breakdown or specific evaluation criteria are recorded in the process details.

For education providers, this award demonstrates a buyer requirement for delivery of a defined BTEC Level 3 sports qualification to 16–18-year-old apprentices attached to professional football academies. A credible competitor would need to deliver the Performance and Excellence curriculum in a way that fits the apprentices’ professional development phase and the football-club academy setting. The awarded supplier is identified as a small or medium-sized enterprise, showing that the requirement was delivered by a provider of that scale. The work is a focused education service for learners in North West England, so relevant capability is subject-specific teaching and delivery for this age group and context, rather than broad training provision. The buyer’s use of a negotiated procedure without prior publication is also part of the route used for this requirement.
