Summary of the contracting process

Hampshire County Council commissioned an early intervention practitioner to support one apprentice. The requirement is an education and training service, delivered in Winchester, Hampshire. The work falls within the wider category of education and training services (CPV 80000000). It is a focused practitioner-led assignment rather than a broad training programme, with responsibility centred on early intervention for a single apprentice. The council is the buying organisation and the service is being delivered for its needs. The stated supplier suitability includes small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, making this type of requirement relevant to specialist training providers, apprenticeship support organisations and practitioners with experience of early intervention work.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. Hampshire County Council used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender closed on 27 July 2026 at 17:00. The contract was awarded to Train Together Limited on 27 July 2026 for £5,000. The contract runs from 28 July 2026 to 2 January 2028. The award was for the complete requirement: an early intervention practitioner for one apprentice. Evaluation was therefore for a defined education and training service delivered through the framework route. The awarded supplier is Train Together Limited. The procurement is recorded as complete and the award is active.

This award confirms Hampshire County Council’s demand for targeted early intervention support linked to an individual apprentice, delivered through a framework call-off. Suppliers that would be well placed for a comparable requirement would need to provide an appropriately capable early intervention practitioner and demonstrate practical experience of supporting apprentices through education, training or related developmental interventions. Organisations should be able to deliver a focused service for a single learner while working within a public-sector framework’s call-off processes and service requirements. The opportunity is expressly suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so specialist smaller providers and mission-led organisations can be credible competitors alongside larger training companies. Train Together Limited’s selection also shows that an established education and training provider can meet this buyer’s requirement.
