Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Hampshire County Council procured training for one apprentice to become a Lead Adult Care Worker at Level 3. The requirement is a focused adult social care apprenticeship rather than a general training programme. Delivery is associated with Winchester (SO23 8UJ). The buyer is Hampshire County Council, based in Winchester. The training service is intended to develop the apprentice for a lead care worker role; the procurement describes one apprentice and does not break the training into separate components.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Fareport Training Organisation Limited on 21 September 2026. The award value is £4,000. The contract period runs from 22 September 2026 to 9 November 2027. Hampshire County Council used a selective process as a call-off from a framework agreement. The original estimated procurement value was also £4,000. The award information identifies one successful supplier and one apprentice. The opportunity was marked as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. No evaluation criteria or specific qualification thresholds are stated in the available procurement details.

For training providers, this award shows Hampshire County Council’s demand for Level 3 Lead Adult Care Worker training for an individual apprentice, with delivery linked to Winchester. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to provide apprenticeship training that supports progression into a lead adult care role, and be able to serve a small, single-learner cohort rather than relying on large-volume delivery. The selected supplier was a large training organisation, but the procurement was also identified as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The route used was a call-off from a framework, so relevant framework access and the ability to deliver the specified adult care apprenticeship would be important in competing for comparable council requirements.
