Summary of the contracting process

Hampshire County Council procured a Level 3 Lead Adult Care Worker apprenticeship for one apprentice. The service is adult-care vocational training, intended to develop the apprentice’s skills and qualification as a lead care worker. Delivery is associated with Winchester, based on the stated delivery postcode. This is a single-apprentice training requirement rather than a large-scale workforce programme, and is relevant to training providers able to deliver this adult-care apprenticeship for a local authority.

The procurement is complete and Fareport Training Organisation Limited was selected for the contract. The award was made on 28 September 2026, for £4,000. The contract runs from 29 September 2026 to 24 November 2027. Hampshire County Council used a selective process as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender closed on 28 September 2026 at 17:00. The published information does not describe separate lots or state the evaluation criteria. The procurement was categorised as a service, with suitability indicated for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This award demonstrates demand from Hampshire County Council for a Level 3 Lead Adult Care Worker apprenticeship for a single learner, rather than a broad training contract. Providers best placed to compete when this specific requirement returns will be able to deliver recognised adult-care apprenticeship training at Level 3 and support an individual apprentice through the programme. Experience working with adult-care learners and delivering training that prepares staff for lead-worker responsibilities would be relevant to the requirement. The award was made through a framework call-off, so suppliers seeking similar work with this buyer should be credible within an appropriate framework route as well as capable of serving a small, individual training need. The stated SME and VCSE suitability suggests these organisation types can be relevant competitors.
