Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Hampshire County Council procured payroll administration and support for one apprentice under the title “L3 Payroll Administrator”. The requirement is classified as education and training services and is intended to support an apprentice’s payroll administration arrangements. The service is delivered in Winchester, Hampshire. This is a service contract rather than a goods or construction opportunity. It is relevant to payroll bureaux, apprenticeship and training providers, and organisations that combine payroll processing with apprentice administration. Suppliers with experience of handling apprentice-related payroll requirements for public-sector or education customers are likely to recognise the type of work involved. The buyer is Hampshire County Council, based at The Castle in Winchester.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 2 July 2026 at 5pm, and the award was made on 2 July 2026. MBKB was selected as the supplier for an awarded value of £9,351 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 3 July 2026 to 9 November 2027. The tender’s estimated value was also £9,351. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The procurement concerns one payroll administrator apprenticeship requirement and has a completed tender status.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from Hampshire County Council for payroll administration connected with a single Level 3 apprentice, delivered through a framework call-off. For a future requirement of this kind, credible competitors would need reliable payroll administration capability, a sound understanding of apprenticeship arrangements and the capacity to support a small, clearly defined public-sector service. Experience of education and training services would be relevant, particularly where payroll activity must align with apprentice administration and council processes. Suppliers should also be able to operate through the relevant framework route, meet public-sector service standards and provide dependable administration for the full contract term. The opportunity is suitable in principle for both SMEs and VCSEs with the required specialist capability.
