Summary of the contracting process

Hampshire County Council, based in Winchester, England, has completed a procurement process to secure services for their "Level 7 Solicitor" programme, which includes the provision of education and training services. The procurement, executed through a selective method via a call-off from a framework agreement, reached the award stage as of 4th February 2026 and has been contracted to Damar, a large company based in Manchester. The service delivery is scheduled from 5th February 2026 to 20th August 2028. The project, valued at £48,000, involves apprenticeships for solicitors and is accessible to both SMEs and VCSEs. The unique postal delivery code for this contract is SO23 8UJ.

This contract offers growth opportunities for businesses specialising in education and legal training services. Organisations equipped to deliver comprehensive solicitor training, particularly those familiar with framework agreements and higher education service delivery, will find this contract advantageous. Additionally, businesses that qualify as small and medium enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) may prove well-suited to the procurement's inclusivity, potentially leading to further engagement with public sector projects.
