## Summary

League Football Education (LFE) commissioned a full-time Study Programme for young people aged 16 to 19, delivered through engagement with their local community trust. The participating trusts are affiliated with professional football clubs in the English Football League. The work is education and training services for young people, with delivery in the North East of England. LFE is the buying organisation. The requirement centres on providing a structured education programme through a football-club community trust, rather than general training services. The selected provider, Tigers Sports and Education Trust, is based in Hull.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Tigers Sports and Education Trust. The award was made on 1 September 2026. The awarded contract value is £146,000. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. LFE used a negotiated procedure without prior publication, described as above threshold. The tender’s estimated value was also £146,000. The submission deadline was 31 August 2026. The procurement was treated as a services contract, and small and medium-sized enterprises were considered suitable. No lots or evaluation criteria are stated in the published procurement details.

For a future requirement of this kind, credible providers will need to deliver a full-time education programme for 16–19-year-olds through a community trust affiliated with a professional English Football League club. Relevant strengths include experience engaging young people in a local community setting and the capability to provide structured education, not simply stand-alone training. A supplier also needs a working relationship with a suitable football-club trust and the capacity to deliver across the programme period. The award to a small and medium-sized trust shows that this work can be undertaken by an SME. The buyer used a negotiated procedure without prior publication for this procurement, so suppliers should note the route taken when assessing how comparable requirements are commissioned.
