Tender description
The Foster the future project with Leicester City in the Community is to provide mentoring and enrichment opportunities linked to Leicester City Football club, for our children in care. This is a unique package that has been developed specifically for LAC children to support with reducing exclusion rates across the county/city by providing mentoring support in schools, activities and engagement sessions, along with opportunities to visit the ground and games that they otherwise would not get. The vision is to support with education, physical activity and in school support by using the brand of Leicester City to engage our vulnerable young people and support them to succeed in school. Alongside our LAC, a large focus is also supporting our USAC young people and providing them opportunities too. The community have extended their location offer, to ensure it is accessible to more young people across the county and also including mentoring in schools to form strong links between what they are doing with the club and the schools.

About the buyer
Leicestershire County Council buys as a local authority, advertising larger contracts on the government's Find a Tender service. Smaller contracts appear separately on Contracts Finder, the portal for lower-value public work. Some contracts also run through frameworks set up by outside bodies, including ESPO, and suppliers apply to join those directly. The council itself trades nationally as ESPO, running framework agreements for public bodies nationwide. A two-year procurement plan on the council's open data site lists contracts still to come. Suppliers must also register on Find a Tender, a requirement since April 2026.
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 Leicestershire County Council's contract awards have been in transport services, construction work and architectural and engineering services.
