## Summary

The Sports & Club Development Programme, facilitated by Hyndburn Borough Council, aims to engage with grassroots sports teams to foster long-term benefits and sustained community involvement. This procurement process falls under the services category and is supported by substantial funding source from the council, which includes an annual £45,000 as well as £100,000 spread over financial years 2026/27 and 2027/28. This contract, formally awarded to Hyndburn Leisure, began on 12th May 2026 and will operate until 31st March 2028, covering the whole of the UKD46 region, Accrington, United Kingdom. The process was conducted directly without competition under a 'below threshold' directive, meaning it did not require a customary tender due to its specific procurement method.

This programme presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in community health services, given its focus on healthier communities through sports participation. Businesses that specialise in community engagement, sports management, or health promotion would find this contract beneficial as it aligns with efforts to improve local wellbeing and youth involvement in physical activities. Additionally, companies of varied scales, notably small to medium-sized enterprises with a community-centred approach, can utilise this initiative to fortify local ties and enhance their operational stature by collaborating for voluntary sector and community-driven roles.
