Summary of the contracting process

Hampshire County Council commissioned education and training services for one apprentice undertaking an L4 Associate Project Manager role. The requirement covers the support and development associated with that apprenticeship, rather than a general project management staffing service. Delivery is in Winchester, Hampshire, at the SO23 8UJ location. The buying organisation is Hampshire County Council, based at The Castle in Winchester. This is a services procurement focused on project management training and workplace development for a single apprentice. Businesses providing apprenticeship training, project management development or related vocational support are the closest fit, particularly those able to work with the council and the apprentice at the stated delivery location.

This procurement has been awarded. Hampshire County Council used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The submission deadline was 19 August 2026 at 5pm, and the award was made on 19 August 2026. Fareport Training Organisation Limited was selected, with an awarded value of £7,000. The contract runs from 20 August 2026 to 30 April 2028. The tender had an estimated value of £7,000 and was classified as an education and training services requirement. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. It concerns one apprentice and one contract award.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award is evidence that Hampshire County Council buys focused apprenticeship support for project management roles through a framework call-off. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need demonstrable capability in education and training, with particular strength in developing apprentices towards an L4 Associate Project Manager role. It would need to support one learner effectively, connect training with workplace project management development, and deliver the service in Winchester. The stated suitability for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises indicates that organisations of those types can be relevant competitors, provided they can meet the council’s framework and delivery requirements.
