Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Hampshire County Council procured services for one Level 2 commis chef apprentice. The requirement is classified as education and training services and concerns the provision of a commis chef apprenticeship, rather than the purchase of catering equipment, food supplies or general catering staff. Delivery is in the Winchester area, associated with postcode SO23 8UJ. The buying organisation is Hampshire County Council, based at The Castle in Winchester. This is a small, defined training requirement centred on supporting one apprentice through the commis chef role. Businesses providing apprenticeship delivery, hospitality training or related vocational education would be the most relevant potential suppliers for this type of requirement.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The award was made on 27 July 2026 to The Opportunity Provider Ltd trading as HIT Training. The awarded value is £9,000 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract runs from 28 July 2026 to 15 October 2027. The tender had a submission deadline of 27 July 2026 at 5pm. The recorded procurement category is services, with education and training services as the classification. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The available information describes the requirement and route to market, but does not set out an evaluation weighting or separate lots.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates Hampshire County Council’s demand for a focused hospitality apprenticeship service delivered through an established framework route. A credible future competitor would need to provide Level 2 commis chef apprenticeship delivery for a single learner, with the teaching, assessment and learner support needed to complete the programme. Relevant experience in hospitality vocational education, apprenticeship administration and working with public-sector buyers would strengthen a competing offer. Smaller businesses and voluntary, community or social enterprises were considered suitable for the requirement, so providers of modest scale may be well placed where they can demonstrate reliable delivery, suitable training capacity and the ability to support an apprentice through the full contract.
