Summary of the contracting process

Hampshire County Council commissioned a team leader for a group of nine apprentices. The requirement is an education and training service, classified under CPV 80000000, rather than a supply of physical goods despite the procurement category being recorded as goods. The work is delivered in Winchester, Hampshire, at the council’s stated delivery postcode area. The council is both the buyer and the organisation managing the requirement. The service is focused on leadership and support for nine apprentices, so relevant providers are likely to be organisations delivering structured apprenticeship training, learner support or team leadership services. The named requirement is “L3 Team Leader”, indicating a Level 3 team leader apprenticeship or equivalent training provision, although the available description only confirms the team leader role and the nine-apprentice cohort.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Hampshire County Council used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 30 June 2026 at 5pm, and the award was made on 30 June 2026. Future delivery runs from 1 July 2026 to 6 October 2027. The awarded value is £45,000, and the contract was awarded in full to Future Talent Learning. The award is active. The procurement record identifies suitability for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The published outcome does not set out separate lots or a detailed scoring breakdown; the requirement is presented as one team leader service for nine apprentices. The award value and period describe this specific contract and should not be treated as a framework-wide value.

This award shows that Hampshire County Council buys apprenticeship-focused team leadership and learner support for a defined cohort, using a framework call-off route. A credible future supplier would need to provide education and training services centred on the Level 3 Team Leader requirement and have the capacity to support nine apprentices consistently. Relevant capability includes planning and delivering structured learning, coordinating learner progress, and providing effective team leadership support throughout the service period. Providers should be able to operate in Winchester and work with the council’s apprenticeship requirements. The stated suitability for SMEs and VCSEs indicates that organisations of those types can be appropriate for this kind of requirement, while the incumbent is a large supplier. Framework access and experience of delivering comparable apprentice training would be commercially relevant when assessing future opportunities with this buyer.
