## Summary

Hampshire County Council procured an operations manager and support for two apprentices. The requirement is described as education and training services, with delivery in Winchester. It is a services contract centred on managing operations alongside the apprentices’ development. The buyer is Hampshire County Council, based in Winchester. This gives relevant suppliers a clear picture of the work: operational management combined with apprentice support for a local authority. The contract title identifies the role as an L5 Operations Manager, indicating the level specified for the position.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Future Talent Learning. The award date was 27 August 2026. The awarded value is £18,000. The contract period runs from 28 August 2026 to 5 February 2028. The procurement was a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 27 August 2026. The stated evaluation basis is not detailed in the available process information. The contract concerns one operations manager and two apprentices, and the overall estimated tender value matches the award value. Hampshire County Council selected Future Talent Learning as the supplier.

This award shows demand from Hampshire County Council for an operations manager who can support the work and development of two apprentices. Suppliers serving this requirement need to combine operational management capability with the ability to guide apprentices, rather than offer general training alone. The successful provider, Future Talent Learning, is identified as a large supplier, while the procurement was also marked suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. That points to a requirement potentially within reach of smaller and mission-led providers as well as larger firms. Experience delivering comparable operations-management and apprenticeship support for a public-sector buyer would help a future competitor demonstrate a credible fit. The call-off route also makes framework access relevant for suppliers seeking to compete for this buyer’s comparable requirement.
