## Summary

Hampshire County Council procured training for eight apprentices on a Level 3 Civil Engineering Technician programme. The service is vocational education and training, intended to develop apprentices’ civil engineering technician skills. Delivery is associated with Winchester (SO23 8UJ). The contract is a single training requirement rather than a set of separately described work packages. The selected provider, South Hampshire College Group, is based in Fareham. The buying organisation is Hampshire County Council; the training supports apprentices rather than the delivery of a construction project. This requirement is relevant to colleges and other training providers able to deliver a Level 3 apprenticeship in civil engineering technology.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to South Hampshire College Group. The award date was 25 September 2026. The stated award value is £112,000. The contract period runs from 28 September 2026 to 28 December 2029. Hampshire County Council used a selective procedure, making a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 25 September 2026 at 5pm. The procurement covered eight apprentices and one training requirement; no separate lots are described. The tender was categorised as a service. The available evaluation information does not set out specific award criteria, weightings or selection thresholds, so the basis for comparing providers cannot be characterised more precisely.

For providers that did not win, this award is evidence of Hampshire County Council’s demand for Level 3 civil engineering technician apprenticeship training for a cohort of eight. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need to deliver apprenticeship training at this level and support a group of learners over a multi-year programme. The chosen provider is a large college group, indicating that a college or training organisation with the capacity to serve an apprentice cohort is commercially relevant; the procurement also marked the opportunity as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. Experience in vocational training and the ability to deliver civil engineering technician learning in the Winchester area would be pertinent. The route used was a framework call-off, so relevant framework participation is important for competing through the same route.
