Summary of the contracting process

Hampshire County Council has completed the procurement process for a contract titled "Level 5 People Professional," which falls under the Education and Training Services category. This selective procurement was executed through a call-off from a framework agreement and involved awarding a contract for the development of one apprentice. The contract is valued at £10,743 and covers a period from 31 March 2026 to 25 September 2027. The tender was located in Winchester, England, with the delivery address postal code of SO23 8UJ, and the award was officially published on 3 June 2026.

This contract presents significant growth opportunities for firms specialising in educational services, especially those experienced in apprenticeship programmes. With Hampshire County Council as the buying organisation, businesses recognised as small and medium enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) were deemed suitable for participation. Companies such as Leep Talent Limited, which successfully secured the contract, illustrate the potential for both large and small enterprises to compete within such frameworks, expanding their footprint in the educational services industry by fostering talent development initiatives through public procurement channels.
