Summary of the contracting process

Hampshire County Council procured training and workplace development for one Level 3 Data Technician apprentice. The requirement is an apprenticeship placement rather than a general data-services contract, with the apprentice’s work based in Winchester. It sits within education and training services and is relevant to apprenticeship providers able to deliver data-technician training and support an individual learner through the programme. The procurement was for one apprentice, so its scale is individual rather than a cohort or wider workforce programme.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Leep Talent Limited. The council used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The award date was 16 September 2026, with the contract period running from 17 September 2026 to 8 January 2028. The awarded value was £13,000. The response deadline was 16 September 2026 at 5pm. The requirement was a single contract for one apprentice, not divided into lots. The process records suitability for both small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. No evaluation criteria are stated in the available procurement details.

This award demonstrates a specific requirement from Hampshire County Council for a provider able to deliver a Level 3 Data Technician apprenticeship for one learner. A credible competitor would need to provide the relevant apprenticeship training and learner support, and be able to serve the Winchester location. The small, single-apprentice scale may suit providers whose delivery model can accommodate an individual placement rather than relying on large cohorts. The buyer used a framework call-off, so suppliers seeking comparable work with this council would need to understand and be positioned to compete through the relevant framework route. The selected supplier shows that a training provider was chosen for this requirement; the award does not establish particular accreditation, staffing or technical thresholds.
