Summary of the contracting process

Hampshire County Council procured a Team Leader to support three apprentices. The requirement is for education and training services, although the procurement is categorised as goods. Delivery is in Winchester, Hampshire, at the postcode area SO23 8UJ. The work concerns practical leadership of an apprenticeship group rather than the supply of physical products. It is relevant to organisations providing apprenticeship management, vocational education, workplace learning or related training support. The council is the buying organisation and the selected provider is based in London, indicating that delivery may involve a provider operating across locations rather than one based directly in Hampshire. The requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations.

This procurement has been completed and awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The award was made on 30 July 2026 to Future Talent Learning for £15,000 GBP. The contract runs from 31 July 2026 to 27 October 2027. The tender deadline was 30 July 2026 at 17:00. The contract covers the Team Leader requirement for three apprentices. The published procurement information records an active award and a complete tender process. The framework call-off route means competition took place among eligible framework providers rather than through an unrestricted tender. The opportunity was identified as suitable for SMEs and VCSEs, which may be relevant to organisations assessing their position for similar council requirements.

For a future requirement of this kind, credible competitors would need to provide a team leader capable of supporting three apprentices through an organised education or workplace-training programme. Relevant capability would include apprenticeship delivery, learner supervision, pastoral or operational support, progress monitoring and communication with the council and other stakeholders. Providers should be able to demonstrate that they can manage a small, defined cohort while maintaining consistent training quality and reliable day-to-day leadership. The award shows that Hampshire County Council uses a framework call-off for this type of requirement, so suppliers seeking comparable work should consider whether they hold places on relevant education, training or apprenticeship frameworks. Smaller businesses and VCSEs may also find the requirement commercially aligned with their organisational scale and delivery model.
