Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Hampshire County Council procured a data analyst apprenticeship for one apprentice. The requirement is a training service rather than a general data analysis staffing contract, with the work associated with Winchester, Hampshire. The tender classifies the service under education and training, and identifies its intended delivery location by a postcode in Winchester. This is a focused, single-apprentice requirement, suited to organisations that provide structured data analyst apprenticeship training. Cambridge Spark was selected to deliver the service.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Cambridge Spark on 1 October 2026. The awarded contract value is £15,000. The contract period runs from 2 October 2026 to 16 February 2028. The council used a selective procedure, making a call-off from a framework agreement. The original estimated value was also £15,000, and submissions had a deadline of 1 October 2026 at 5pm. The requirement was for one apprentice; there were no stated lots. Small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises were identified as suitable. The award is recorded as active.

For providers of data analyst apprenticeships, this award shows that Hampshire County Council has bought training for a single apprentice through a framework call-off. A credible competitor when a similar requirement returns would need to offer a structured apprenticeship pathway that develops practical data analysis capability for one learner, alongside the capacity to deliver the programme over an extended period. The stated suitability for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises indicates that this kind of requirement is not framed only for large training providers. Cambridge Spark, recorded as a large supplier, secured the award, demonstrating that an established specialist provider can meet the council’s requirement. Providers should assess their ability to support an individual apprentice and deliver relevant data analyst training through an appropriate framework route.
