## Summary

The Football Foundation is initiating a soft market testing exercise for the "Smart Access Locks" tender as part of its Parks Improvement Programme, supported by grant funding from the Department for Culture, Sport and Media. This exercise aims to gauge supplier interest in designing, supplying, and installing smart access locks compatible with the ClubSpark booking system. The procurement is at the planning stage, and interested suppliers should complete a questionnaire by 17:00 on 10th May 2021. The total estimated value of this exercise is £3,000,000, applicable to suppliers operating in the locks industry across Great Britain.

This soft market test presents a significant growth opportunity for businesses involved in security hardware and technology solutions, particularly those specialising in smart lock systems and digital access management. Companies with expertise in installation services and those capable of interfacing with reservation software like ClubSpark would be particularly well-suited to participate. Engaging in this process may also lead to future competitive tenders for related supply contracts as the refurbishment of tennis courts in local authority parks progresses.
