## Summary

Hampshire County Council procured education and training services from a professional coaching provider for one apprentice. The requirement is titled L5 Coaching Professional and covers delivery in Winchester. It is a service contract concerned with coaching and the associated development of a single apprentice, rather than a wider supply of goods or works. The buyer is Hampshire County Council, based at The Castle in Winchester. The procurement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and for voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating that organisations of either type could be considered for this kind of requirement. The service classification is education and training services (CPV 80000000).

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Hampshire County Council used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The submission deadline was 10 June 2026 at 5pm, and the award was made on 10 June 2026. Babington was selected as supplier for £5,000 including the stated currency of GBP. The awarded contract runs from 11 June 2026 to 20 October 2027. The published procurement value was also £5,000. The available evaluation information identifies the requirement as a professional coaching service for one apprentice; the award record confirms an active award to Babington. This was a single requirement rather than a procurement divided into separate lots.

For a supplier assessing future opportunities with Hampshire County Council, this award demonstrates demand for structured professional coaching linked to an L5 apprenticeship and delivered to an individual apprentice. A credible competitor would need the capability to provide coaching and education or training services at this focused scale, with the expertise to support an apprentice through the relevant professional development. Experience of delivering one-to-one or similarly tailored coaching would be directly relevant. Suppliers should also understand how to operate through a framework call-off, since that was the route used for this purchase. The requirement was identified as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so smaller specialist providers and mission-led organisations may be well placed when comparable work returns.
