## Summary

League Football Education (LFE) contracted Fleetwood Town Community Trust to deliver a full-time 16–19 Study Programme for young people through engagement with their local community trust. The community trusts involved are affiliated with professional football clubs in the English Football League. This is an education and training service, delivered in the North West of England. The requirement centres on providing the programme to young people in a community-trust setting, linked to the local football club. Fleetwood Town Community Trust is based in Fleetwood, Lancashire.

The procurement is complete and Fleetwood Town Community Trust was selected for the contract. The award was made on 1 September 2026, for £141,100. The awarded contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. The original estimated value was £147,000, and the tender deadline was 31 August 2023. LFE used a negotiated procedure without prior publication, described as above threshold. The opportunity was classified as a services procurement and was considered suitable for SMEs. No lots or evaluation criteria are recorded in the available process details.

This award shows demand for a provider able to deliver full-time education to 16–19-year-olds through a community trust affiliated with an English Football League club. A credible competitor would need the capability to run a structured Study Programme for young people and to work effectively within a local football-club community setting. The awarded provider was a community trust, indicating that organisations with established local links and the ability to engage young people through this model are well placed to meet the requirement. The work is a defined education and training service rather than a general football or community-support contract; relevant experience should therefore centre on programme delivery for this age group and partnership working with a club-affiliated trust. SME suitability was recorded.

## Notice

Delivery of the 16-19 year old full time Study Programme to young people through engagement with their local community trust. All community trusts that LFE work with are affiliated to their professional football club within The English Football League.
