## Summary

Hampshire County Council procured education and training services for one Level 3 Business Administrator apprentice. The requirement covers the training and support associated with a single business administration apprenticeship, delivered in Winchester, England. The procurement is a services contract intended to develop an apprentice through a Level 3 business administration programme. Hampshire County Council is the buyer and the work is associated with its operations. The selected provider, Fareport Training Organisation Limited, is based in Fareham. The opportunity is therefore relevant to organisations delivering apprenticeship training, business administration qualifications or related learner and employer support in Hampshire, particularly providers able to work with a public-sector employer and deliver training locally or through an appropriate blended model.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Hampshire County Council used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender closed on 19 August 2026 at 5pm, and the award was made on 19 August 2026. Fareport Training Organisation Limited was selected for a value of £4,871. The contract runs from 20 August 2026 to 22 January 2028. The process covers one requirement rather than multiple lots. The published suitability information identifies the requirement as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The award is active. The available procurement information describes the requirement and route to market, but does not set out a separate price or quality weighting for evaluation.

For a provider that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates a defined local requirement for a single Level 3 business administration apprentice and a relatively contained apprenticeship delivery package. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need recognised capability in business administration training, apprentice development, learner support and working with an employer throughout the placement. Access to the relevant framework, or a route to join an applicable framework, would be important because this purchase was made as a framework call-off rather than through an open standalone tender. Providers should also be able to deliver effectively in Hampshire, manage the administrative and compliance requirements of an apprenticeship, and support a public-sector client. The stated suitability for SMEs and VCSEs indicates that smaller specialist training organisations may be able to compete when the requirement returns.
