The requirement is for sporting services covering the organisation and administration of ground football leagues and competitions, including the way league activity is delivered and managed. The council is seeking views from organisations with relevant experience so it can understand available solutions, market capability and capacity, and potential approaches to the requirement. The work would be delivered at Burgess Park Sports Ground in Southwark, London. The planned service is classified as sporting services. This is a local-authority service opportunity focused on football league operations rather than construction, facilities works or the supply of sports equipment. This procurement is at the planning stage and is currently a preliminary market engagement exercise, not an invitation to tender. Southwark Council expects to use supplier responses to develop its procurement strategy and specification. Interested organisations are invited to complete a market engagement questionnaire by 22 October 2026; participation will not form part of a formal procurement or confer an advantage or disadvantage in any later competition. The council indicates that a subsequent notice may be published by 31 January 2027. The planned contract period is 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2029. The stated procurement value is £1 including VAT. One lot is planned, with the procurement classified as a services requirement and below the relevant threshold. This engagement will suit organisations that run or administer football leagues and competitions, particularly those able to demonstrate practical experience of organising fixtures, managing league operations and supporting participating teams. The council is specifically seeking insight from suppliers with experience in delivering and administering football league activity, so businesses with established operating models, suitable staffing and the capacity to manage activity at a public sports ground should prepare to contribute. The planned lot is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises, widening the potential field beyond large commercial operators. Community football providers, specialist sports-management businesses and social enterprises with relevant delivery capability may therefore find the future requirement commercially relevant. There is no stated accreditation requirement at this planning stage. ## Notice Southwark Council is exploring future arrangements for the delivery and management of football league activity at Burgess Park Sports Ground, Cobourg Road, London SE5. The Council wishes to engage with organisations experienced in the delivery and administration of football leagues and competitions to better understand the market and help shape any future procurement approach. ### Planning Information The Authority is undertaking preliminary market engagement to better understand the current market, supplier capability and capacity, and potential approaches to delivering the proposed requirements for ground football leagues. Interested suppliers are invited to participate by completing the Market Engagement Questionnaire. The engagement is intended to help the Authority understand available solutions, identify potential opportunities and challenges, and inform the development of the procurement strategy and specification. Suppliers should submit their completed questionnaire by 22nd October 2026 via the messaging facility on ProContract. Information received through this engagement process may be used to inform the development of any subsequent procurement exercise. https://procontract.due-north.com Participation in this preliminary market engagement does not constitute part of a formal process and will not provide any supplier with an advantage or disadvantage in any future procurement. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/089798-2026 | | Notice type | UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 22 Sep 2026 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 31 Jan 2027 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Apr 2027 - 31 Mar 2029 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £1 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Planning | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | London Borough of Southwark | | Locality | LONDON | | Postcode area | South East London | | Postcode | SE1 2QH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI4 Inner London - East | | ITL 3 | TLI44 Lewisham and Southwark | | Local authority | Southwark | | Electoral ward | London Bridge & West Bermondsey | | Westminster constituency | Bermondsey and Old Southwark | | Delivery location | TLI44 Lewisham and Southwark | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 92 - Recreational, cultural and sporting services ### Codes - 92600000 - Sporting services ## Release History - 22 Sep 2026 at 16:04 - Planning - UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/089798-2026 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/089798-2026 22nd September 2026 - Preliminary market engagement notice on Find a Tender ## Notice URLs - http://www.southwark.gov.uk - https://procontract.due-north.com - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
