Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Hampshire County Council procured an Operations Manager service supporting seven apprentices. The requirement falls within education and training services and is classified under CPV 80000000. The work is delivered in the Winchester area. This is a service contract rather than a purchase of goods or construction works. The named buyer is Hampshire County Council, based in Winchester. The requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating that organisations of those types were considered capable of delivering the service. The scope centres on operational management connected with apprentice support, so relevant providers are likely to be organisations experienced in managing apprenticeship programmes, coordinating learners and employers, and delivering structured education or training support.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 30 July 2026 at 5pm, and the award was made on 30 July 2026. Future contract delivery runs from 31 July 2026 to 10 January 2028. The awarded value is £63,000. Future Talent Learning was selected as the supplier, with an award value of £63,000 for the service. The available procurement information identifies education and training services as the category and the framework call-off as the route used. The requirement was presented as a single service covering an Operations Manager and seven apprentices. The published outcome records the award as active.

For suppliers considering a future requirement from Hampshire County Council, this award provides evidence of demand for operational management linked to apprenticeships and education or training delivery in the Winchester area. A credible competitor would need to show practical experience of running apprenticeship-related operations, supporting several apprentices at once, and coordinating delivery reliably over an extended service period. Useful capability would include programme administration, learner support, stakeholder communication, performance monitoring and the ability to manage day-to-day operational issues. Access to the relevant framework route would be commercially important, because this requirement was awarded through a framework call-off. The stated suitability for SMEs and VCSEs indicates that smaller or mission-led providers may be relevant competitors when comparable work returns.
