Summary of the contracting process

Hampshire County Council bought Level 3 Lead Adult Care Worker training for one apprentice. This is a training services requirement, intended to support an apprentice working towards the lead adult care worker qualification. Delivery is associated with the Winchester area, with the listed delivery postcode SO23 8UJ. The buyer is Hampshire County Council, based in Winchester. The requirement is for a single learner rather than a larger cohort, so it is most relevant to training providers able to deliver the specified adult care qualification to an individual apprentice.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Fareport Training Organisation Limited on 1 September 2026. The award value is £4,000. The recorded contract period runs from 2 September 2026 to 18 October 2027. Hampshire County Council used a selective procurement route, as a call-off from a framework agreement. The requirement was for one apprentice and was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The award information does not state evaluation criteria, so the basis on which competing providers were assessed cannot be described from the published process details.

This award demonstrates demand from Hampshire County Council for targeted Level 3 adult care workforce training, including provision for a single apprentice rather than only large groups. Providers well placed to compete when this specific requirement returns will be able to deliver the Lead Adult Care Worker qualification to an individual learner, with provision suited to an apprentice based in the Winchester area. The work is a modest, focused training engagement, so capability to arrange and deliver learner-level training is more relevant than evidence of large-scale programme capacity. The route used was a call-off from a framework, making framework access relevant to suppliers seeking comparable council work. The buyer identified the opportunity as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises.
