## Summary

Hampshire County Council procured education and training services for one apprentice undertaking the Level 3 Lead Adult Care Worker standard. The requirement covers the training and development associated with this adult social care apprenticeship, rather than the supply of care services itself. The buying organisation is Hampshire County Council, based in Winchester, and delivery is associated with the SO23 8UJ area. This is a service opportunity suited to training providers, apprenticeship specialists and organisations experienced in developing staff for adult care roles. The procurement is classified under education and training services. It is also identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations, making it relevant to providers of different organisational types.

The procurement has completed and was awarded on 29 July 2026. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract value is £4,000 including the stated currency of GBP. Fareport Training Organisation Limited was selected as the supplier. The awarded contract runs from 30 July 2026 to 30 September 2027. The tender submission deadline was 29 July 2026 at 17:00. The requirement was for one apprentice and was treated as a single service item. The award is active and the tender status is complete. The available process information identifies the procurement as a services contract and confirms its suitability for SMEs and VCSEs. No separate lots or alternative awards are recorded.

This award provides a clear indication that Hampshire County Council buys externally delivered apprenticeship training for adult social care roles, using framework call-offs rather than a wholly open procedure. Suppliers likely to be credible for a future requirement of this type would need to deliver the Level 3 Lead Adult Care Worker standard, support an individual apprentice throughout the training period and understand the workforce needs of adult social care employers. Relevant strengths include established apprenticeship delivery arrangements, suitable trainers and assessors, and the capacity to provide training linked to a named learner rather than a large cohort. The opportunity is also relevant to SMEs and VCSEs, so smaller specialist training organisations may be well placed to compete when comparable demand returns.
