Suppliers should also highlight the range of professional services able to be included within their scope such as;

• Engineering design - foundations
• Engineering design - drainage & utilities
• Utilities & groundworks contractors

The Football Foundation's grants must be used by those third parties to award contracts to a supplier on the supplier list. Suppliers appointed to the supplier list to which this opportunity relates will therefore have the opportunity to bid for those contracts.

This notice refers to the supplier list only - Football Foundation will NOT be awarding any contracts directly to suppliers on the supplier list. Contracts will cover the provision of the catering units. Contracts are expected to have a value in the region of £20,000 - £40,000 depending on the site location. However, all contracts will be subject to agreement and negotiation with the relevant third party contracting parties. Third parties which will award contracts may or may not be subject to the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, and will carry out their own procurements.

Therefore for the avoidance of doubt, this opportunity is ONLY to join the supplier list created by the Football Foundation. Football Foundation will NOT award any contracts directly and this opportunity does NOT relate to a contract award by the Football Foundation.
