## Summary

Hampshire County Council is buying Level 3 Lead Adult Care Worker training for one apprentice. The requirement is an education and training service focused on developing a lead adult care worker; delivery is associated with Winchester, Hampshire. The council is the buyer, and the training supplier is responsible for providing the apprenticeship training. This is a specific, single-apprentice training requirement rather than a wider adult social care service or a large workforce programme. It is relevant to providers delivering regulated or vocational training for adult care workers, particularly those able to support an apprentice through a Level 3 lead-worker qualification.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Fareport Training Organisation Limited. The award was made on 1 October 2026, with a contract period running from 2 October 2026 to 23 February 2028. The awarded value is £4,000. The estimated procurement value was also £4,000. The contract was let as a selective call-off from a framework agreement, rather than through an open standalone competition. The response deadline was 1 October 2026 at 5pm. The procurement information identifies one apprentice and states that small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises were suitable to participate. No specific evaluation weighting or scoring basis is stated.

The award shows Hampshire County Council has a defined requirement for Level 3 training to develop a Lead Adult Care Worker, on a one-apprentice scale. For a future comparable requirement, a credible provider would need to deliver the relevant qualification and support an apprentice throughout the training period, with provision aligned to adult social care leadership practice. The council used a framework call-off, so suppliers seeking similar work would need to be positioned to participate through the relevant framework route rather than relying only on open tender opportunities. The award demonstrates that the requirement was met by a training organisation; it does not establish a need for broader care delivery. Smaller and voluntary-sector training providers were considered suitable for this procurement.
