Summary of the contracting process

Hampshire County Council commissioned education and training services for one apprentice undertaking a Level 3 Lead Adult Care Worker programme. The requirement is focused on developing an apprentice for a lead role in adult care, combining the relevant learning and training support with the needs of the employing organisation. Delivery is associated with Winchester, Hampshire, based on the stated delivery postcode and the council’s address. This is a specialist adult-care workforce development requirement rather than a general training contract. Organisations providing apprenticeships, vocational education or workforce development for adult social care would be the most relevant potential suppliers for this type of requirement.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 19 August 2026 through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The contract was awarded to Fareport Training Organisation Limited for £4,000 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 20 August 2026 to 4 January 2028. The tender submission deadline was 19 August 2026 at 5pm. The procurement is for services and is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. One supplier was selected for the requirement. The published outcome identifies the award as active, with Hampshire County Council as the buying organisation.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from Hampshire County Council for adult-care apprenticeship training at a modest, single-apprentice scale. It is most relevant to training providers with established capability in Level 3 Lead Adult Care Worker programmes, adult social care vocational delivery and apprenticeship support. A credible future supplier would need to understand the operational context of lead care roles and provide structured learning suited to one apprentice and the employer’s workplace. Experience working with councils or care-sector employers, reliable learner support and the capacity to deliver the full programme over the contract term would strengthen a competing offer. The use of a framework call-off also indicates that access to an appropriate framework route is commercially relevant.
