Tender description

The FA is working with Sport England and Sheffield City Council (‘the Council’) to develop a number of new ‘football hub’ sites in Sheffield as part of the City of Sheffield ‘Parklife Project’. The FA, Sport England and the Council (together ‘the project partners’) are seeking to procure an operator to manage the facilities on behalf of a new city-wide ‘Football Trust’ that will be established. Construction of the Hubs is being procured independently of this procurement process. If this pilot project in Sheffield is successful, the FA intends to establish similar Football Trusts in up to 30 of England’s largest cities or unitary local authorities, although the wider rollout does not form part of this process.

About the buyer

Sheffield City Council is a local authority for the city of Sheffield, and runs its own procurement function for contracts across the organisation. Tender opportunities are advertised on YORtender, the council's e-tendering portal shared with local authorities across the Yorkshire and Humber region. Contracts above threshold also appear on Find a Tender, with lower-value opportunities listed on Contracts Finder. Framework agreements let the council call off from appointed suppliers without a fresh advertisement. An evaluation panel scores each bid, and the highest-scoring supplier wins the contract. Contract details are then published in the Contract Register within YORtender.

UK local government drives £140bn in annual procurement, led by social protection (£66.6bn) and education (£57.1bn).

Over the past 5 years, most of Sheffield City Council's contract awards have been in business services, construction work and IT services.
