Summary of the contracting process

Hampshire County Council bought a training service for one Level 4 Cyber Security Technologist apprentice. The work is education and training, focused on developing cyber security technologist skills. The delivery postcode is SO23 8UJ, in Winchester. The requirement is for a single apprentice rather than a wider training cohort.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to GingerNut. The award date was 25 September 2026. The awarded contract value is £18,000. The contract period runs from 28 September 2026 to 13 June 2028. The council used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 25 September 2026 at 5pm. The service category is training. The procurement was marked suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. No evaluation criteria are recorded in the available process details.

This award shows demand from Hampshire County Council for Level 4 cyber security technologist apprenticeship training, on a one-apprentice scale. A credible competitor for the same requirement would need to deliver training suited to that occupational role and qualification level, with the capacity to support an individual apprentice rather than only large cohorts. The procurement used a framework call-off, so suppliers seeking similar work from this buyer would need to be positioned to supply through an applicable framework. The council indicated that the opportunity was suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so providers in those categories can be relevant competitors.
