Summary of the contracting process

Hampshire County Council commissioned education and training services for one apprentice undertaking a Level 4 Quality Practitioner programme. The requirement covers the provision of the practitioner training and associated support for the apprentice, rather than the supply of goods or construction work. Delivery is in the Winchester area of Hampshire. The procurement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and for voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations. Businesses operating in apprenticeship training, quality management education, vocational learning or workforce development are the most relevant audience. The buyer is Hampshire County Council, based at The Castle in Winchester, and the appointed supplier is MBKB, a large training provider based in Dudley.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded. Hampshire County Council used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 3 June 2026 at 5pm, and the award was made on 3 June 2026. MBKB was awarded the contract for £5,844, with the contract running from 4 June 2026 to 29 December 2027. The published requirement was for one apprentice. The available information identifies the procurement as education and training services and sets out the framework call-off route; it does not state a separate price, quality or other scoring split. The award is active, with MBKB as the selected supplier.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for Level 4 quality practitioner training for an apprentice within Hampshire County Council. Suppliers would need credible capability in delivering regulated or structured vocational training, supporting an individual apprentice through a higher-level quality-focused programme, and meeting a public sector framework’s call-off requirements. Relevant organisations may include apprenticeship providers, further education and professional training specialists, and quality management training businesses. The stated suitability for SMEs and VCSEs indicates that smaller or mission-led providers can be relevant competitors, provided they have the delivery systems, qualified teaching or assessment staff, learner support and quality assurance needed for an apprentice programme. Experience working with councils or other public bodies would strengthen a future response to this buyer’s requirement.
