## Summary

The Education Training Collective (ETC) is seeking a football delivery partner to work with Redcar & Cleveland College to establish and develop its ISE Men’s Football Academy. The work is a combination of football coaching and education and training services, supporting the college’s continued development of the academy. Delivery is for Redcar & Cleveland College in Redcar and Cleveland, England. The partner will work collaboratively with the college; this is not simply a supply of equipment or a standalone training course. The requirement is aimed at organisations able to provide football delivery in an educational setting and help build an outstanding men’s academy.

ETC invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. The process reached the tender stage. The buyer set 7 October 2026 at 23:59 as the deadline for enquiries and 16 October 2026 at 12:00 as the deadline for offers. Offers were to be submitted by email, with electronic submission not permitted. The contract period runs from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2029, with two possible 12-month renewals and a maximum term to 31 October 2031. The estimated value is £75,000 excluding VAT (£90,000 including VAT). There is one lot, and award is based on quality (90%) and price (10%). Participation is reserved for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises in the UK.

This opportunity is suited to an SME or voluntary, community or social enterprise with credible football delivery experience and the ability to work closely with a further education college. Suppliers should be able to support the establishment and development of a men’s football academy, bringing the coaching, operational capability and collaborative approach needed to deliver within an educational environment. The buyer is looking for an ambitious and suitably experienced partner, so relevant track record in football provision and academy development will be important. The single-lot requirement is focused on a partner able to deliver the service as a whole. The evaluation gives substantially greater weight to quality than price, favouring bidders able to demonstrate a strong delivery approach and suitable experience.
