Summary of the contracting process

Hampshire County Council commissioned education and training services for one apprentice undertaking the Level 4 Lead Practitioner in Adult Care qualification. The requirement is focused on delivering the apprenticeship and associated training needed to develop a lead practitioner working in adult social care. The work is to be delivered in Winchester, Hampshire. The procurement is categorised as services, specifically education and training. It is relevant to apprenticeship providers, further education and vocational training organisations, and adult social care training specialists able to deliver a Level 4 qualification and support an apprentice through the required learning programme. The buyer is Hampshire County Council, based in Winchester. The selected provider is Fareport Training Organisation Limited, an established training organisation based in Fareham.

The procurement has been awarded following a selective call-off from a framework agreement. Hampshire County Council awarded the contract to Fareport Training Organisation Limited on 19 August 2026 for £6,615. The contract runs from 20 August 2026 to 30 January 2027. The tender submission deadline was 19 August 2026 at 5pm. The original procurement record gives an estimated contract value of £6,615 and describes the requirement as one apprentice completing the Level 4 Lead Practitioner in Adult Care programme. The tender was marked complete after the award. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The procurement information does not set out a separate evaluation weighting or scoring basis.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from Hampshire County Council for specialist adult care apprenticeship training delivered through a framework call-off. Suppliers well placed for a future requirement would need recognised capability in vocational education and training, experience of delivering Level 4 adult care programmes, and the systems to support an individual apprentice through structured learning and assessment. A credible provider would also need practical knowledge of adult social care roles and the ability to coordinate delivery with the council and the apprentice’s workplace. The buyer’s stated suitability for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises indicates that smaller specialist providers and mission-led training organisations can be relevant competitors, provided they have suitable delivery capacity, quality assurance and framework access.
