Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Hampshire County Council procured education and training services for one Level 3 Business Administrator apprentice. The requirement is for an apprenticeship placement or training provision for a single apprentice, rather than a broader business administration staffing contract. Delivery is associated with the Winchester area (SO23 8UJ). The council is the buyer, and the selected provider, Fareport Training Organisation Limited, is based in Fareham. This work is relevant to apprenticeship training providers and organisations able to deliver Level 3 business administration training for an individual learner in the Hampshire area.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Fareport Training Organisation Limited. The award was made on 21 September 2026, at a value of £5,000. The contract period is recorded as 22 August 2026 to 20 December 2027 in the award information; the tender section records 22 September 2026 to 20 December 2027. The tender submission deadline was 21 September 2026. The requirement was a selective call-off from a framework agreement. No lots are identified. The procurement was classified as services, with small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises marked as suitable. The award information identifies the supplier and value but does not set out evaluation criteria.

This award demonstrates a defined, small-scale requirement from Hampshire County Council for Level 3 business administration apprenticeship training for one learner. Suppliers suited to future equivalent work would need to deliver the relevant apprenticeship training and support an individual apprentice through the programme in the Winchester area. The buyer used a framework call-off route, so providers seeking comparable work should be positioned to supply through an appropriate framework. The award went to an established training organisation, indicating that apprenticeship delivery is the core capability relevant to this requirement. The opportunity is narrowly focused: providers specialising in apprenticeship training, rather than general recruitment or administrative staffing, are the closest fit. The SME and voluntary, community and social enterprise suitability settings indicate those organisation types can be considered for this kind of procurement.
