Summary of the contracting process

Hampshire County Council procured civil engineering senior technician training for one apprentice. The requirement is an apprenticeship-level training service, rather than civil engineering construction or consultancy work. Delivery is associated with postcode SO23 8UJ in Winchester. The buyer is Hampshire County Council, based in Winchester. This is a focused, single-apprentice requirement for a supplier able to provide relevant technical education and training.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Solent University. The award was made on 27 August 2026, at a value of £9,000. The contract runs from 28 August 2026 to 2 February 2029. It was a call-off from a framework agreement using a selective procedure. The stated requirement was for one apprentice, and small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises were considered suitable to participate. The closing deadline for submissions was 27 August 2026 at 5pm. The published information does not describe specific evaluation weightings or detailed selection thresholds.

For training providers, this award indicates demand from Hampshire County Council for apprenticeship training in civil engineering at senior technician level. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to deliver training suited to a single apprentice and demonstrate the ability to support progression towards senior technician capability. Providers with relevant civil engineering education expertise, apprenticeship delivery capacity and experience working with public-sector or employer-sponsored learners would be well placed. The previous award was made through a framework call-off, so suppliers seeking similar council work would benefit from access to appropriate frameworks and the capability to respond to selective call-offs. This is a relatively focused training requirement, rather than a large multi-learner programme.
