Summary of the contracting process

Hampshire County Council commissioned data technician training for two apprentices at Level 3. The requirement is an education and training service focused on developing entry-level data technician skills. Delivery is associated with Winchester, Hampshire, with the supplied address postcode pointing to the same location. This is a specific apprenticeship training requirement rather than a general IT staffing or data consultancy contract. It concerns training provision for two learners and sits within the council’s workforce development needs.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a call-off from a framework agreement using a selective process. The award date was 27 August 2026. Two suppliers were named in separate active awards: Just IT/LEEP and Leep Talent Limited, each with an awarded value of £25,910. Each award covers the period from 28 August 2026 to 26 December 2027. The original estimated procurement value was also £25,910. The tender deadline was 27 August 2026 at 5pm. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. No evaluation criteria are stated in the available process data.

For providers of apprenticeship training, this award shows Hampshire County Council’s demand for Level 3 data technician training for a small learner cohort. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to deliver structured technical training suited to apprentices, support learners through the programme and provide capacity for two participants. The award was made through a framework call-off, so suppliers seeking comparable council work would benefit from access to relevant frameworks and experience delivering public-sector apprenticeship provision. The successful providers were recorded as large organisations, but the procurement was marked as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating that smaller specialist training providers could also be relevant competitors.
