## Summary

Hampshire County Council procured education and training services for an L5 Operations Manager programme supporting 36 apprentices. The requirement concerns delivery of the Operations Manager apprenticeship or associated training and management service, rather than a physical construction or goods supply. The work is delivered in Winchester, Hampshire, with the council as the buying organisation. This is a public-sector apprenticeship and workforce-development requirement, relevant to training providers, apprenticeship organisations and education businesses able to support operational management learners. The procurement is categorised as services, with education and training services as the stated classification. Its scale is centred on one programme for 36 apprentices, indicating a defined learner cohort and a requirement for an organisation able to organise and deliver structured training to that group.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. Hampshire County Council used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. Bids closed on 30 June 2026 at 17:00. The contract was awarded to Future Talent Learning on 30 June 2026 for £324,000 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 1 July 2026 to 23 April 2028. The awarded value and contract period apply to the L5 Operations Manager requirement for the 36-apprentice cohort. The award is active and the tender status is complete. This outcome identifies the appointed supplier and shows that the council used an established framework route to procure the training service rather than an open standalone tender.

For suppliers assessing future opportunities with Hampshire County Council, this award demonstrates demand for structured apprenticeship training in operational management, delivered to a defined cohort through a framework call-off. A credible competitor would need the capability to provide education and training services for Level 5 Operations Manager apprentices, manage learner administration and progression, and maintain delivery across a substantial apprentice group. Relevant experience in apprenticeship provision, employer engagement, operational management training and quality assurance would strengthen a future response. The requirement was identified as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so smaller specialist providers and mission-led training organisations may be well placed where they can demonstrate sufficient delivery capacity, learner support and framework access.
