Summary of the contracting process

Hampshire County Council commissioned education and training services for one apprentice undertaking a Level 6 Trading Standards Professional programme. The requirement covers professional training for a single apprentice, rather than the supply of goods or construction works. Delivery is associated with Winchester, Hampshire, at postcode SO23 8UJ. The buying organisation is Hampshire County Council, based at The Castle in Winchester. This opportunity is relevant to training providers able to deliver advanced Trading Standards professional development and support an apprentice through the required programme. It may also be relevant to organisations specialising in public-sector workforce development, vocational learning or apprenticeship provision where Trading Standards is within their delivery capability.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. Hampshire County Council used a selective procedure to make a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 1 June 2026 at 5pm. The contract was awarded on 1 June 2026 to CSA (Services) for £18,000, with the contract running from 2 June 2026 to 8 October 2028. The tender is marked complete and the award is active. The requirement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The award concerns one apprentice and one training service requirement; no lots or separate awards are recorded. The recorded procurement category is education and training services.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from Hampshire County Council for Level 6 Trading Standards professional training for one apprentice, delivered through a framework call-off. It is most relevant to training providers with an established apprenticeship or vocational learning offer, and with the subject expertise, curriculum and learner-support arrangements needed for professional Trading Standards development. Providers should be able to work with a local authority, support one learner over a substantial programme, and deliver consistently in or for the Winchester area. The stated suitability for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises indicates that smaller specialist providers and social-purpose training organisations can be credible competitors. Experience delivering public-sector apprenticeships or regulated professional training would strengthen a future response to this buyer’s equivalent requirement.
