Summary of the contracting process

Hampshire County Council procured training and apprenticeship provision for five Level 3 Data Technician apprentices. The work is education and training services, with delivery in Winchester, Hampshire (postcode SO23 8UJ). The requirement centres on developing apprentices as data technicians; no further curriculum or delivery detail is described. This is a people-focused training contract rather than a purchase of data technology or outsourced data analysis, so it is most relevant to providers able to deliver vocational apprenticeship training in the data technician occupation. The procurement was run by Hampshire County Council, whose headquarters are in Winchester.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Leep Talent Limited. The award date was 21 September 2026, with the contract running from 22 September 2026 to 17 January 2028. The awarded value is £64,819. It was a selective procurement using a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 21 September 2026 at 5pm. The requirement covered five apprentices and was structured as a single requirement rather than separate lots. Small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises were considered suitable. No evaluation criteria are recorded in the process information, so the basis on which bids were assessed cannot be summarised.

For apprenticeship training providers, this award demonstrates Hampshire County Council’s demand for Level 3 Data Technician training for a small cohort of five apprentices, delivered through a framework call-off. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to show that it can recruit or support apprentice learners, deliver occupationally relevant data technician training and manage provision for a small group within a defined contract period. The selected supplier was Leep Talent Limited, indicating that an apprenticeship-focused provider was able to fulfil the requirement. The procurement was suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, making it relevant to providers in those sectors as well as larger training businesses. The opportunity is specifically about data technician apprenticeships, not general IT training.
