Summary of the contracting process

Hampshire County Council commissioned a professional coaching service for one apprentice under the title “L5 Coaching Professional”. The requirement falls within education and training services and is a service rather than a goods or construction contract. Delivery is associated with the SO23 8UJ area, in Winchester. The work is intended to support a single apprentice through a Level 5 coaching professional programme. The council is the buying organisation and is based at The Castle in Winchester. The requirement is relevant to organisations providing structured coaching, professional development and apprenticeship-related training, particularly those able to work with an individual learner and coordinate delivery with the council’s requirements.

This procurement has been completed and awarded. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 6 July 2026 at 5pm, and the award was made on 6 July 2026. Best Practice Network Limited was selected, with an awarded value of £5,000. The contract period runs from 7 July 2026 to 30 June 2027. The tender’s estimated value was also £5,000. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. It was a single requirement for one apprentice; no separate lots or stated quality, price or other evaluation criteria are recorded in the process.

For suppliers that did not win this contract, the award indicates a defined demand from Hampshire County Council for individual apprentice coaching at a modest, focused scale. A credible future competitor would need to provide professional coaching within an education and training setting, support the development of one apprentice, and deliver a structured Level 5 coaching professional service. Organisations already working with apprentices, learners or public-sector training programmes would have a relevant operating model. The opportunity was identified as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so smaller specialist providers and mission-led organisations may be well placed to compete when comparable requirements return. Experience delivering consistent learner support would strengthen credibility.
