Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process conducted by Hampshire County Council, located in Winchester, England, pertains to the "Lead Adult Care Worker" tender. This initiative falls under the education and training services category, following a selective procurement method using a call-off from a framework agreement. The process culminated in the award stage, with the tender being officially awarded on 29th December 2025. The contract, valued at £4,000, spans from 30th December 2025 to 12th June 2027. The opportunity is particularly suitable for small, medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), reflecting the council's commitment to supporting diverse business participation.

The contract provides an opportunity for businesses involved in adult care education and training services to expand their reach and secure sustained work. The selected supplier for this contract is Fareport, a large-scale organisation. Nonetheless, the procurement’s design to accommodate SMEs and VCSEs highlights the potential for smaller, locally-focused businesses to develop partnerships with public sector bodies like Hampshire County Council. Companies with experience or specialisation in providing apprenticeship or skill development services would be well-positioned to compete in similar tenders in the future.
