## Summary

Hampshire County Council procured education and training services for three Level 3 assistant accountant apprentices. The work concerns training apprentices in assistant-accountancy skills, rather than the direct provision of accounting staff. The stated delivery postcode is SO23 8UJ, in Winchester. The buying organisation is Hampshire County Council. The requirement is specifically for an apprenticeship programme at Level 3 and has a defined cohort of three apprentices.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to South Hampshire College Group. The award was made on 7 September 2026, for £36,000. The contract runs from 8 September 2026 to 1 April 2028. Hampshire County Council used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The published information identifies three apprentices and Level 3 assistant-accountant training as the requirement; it gives no separate lot breakdown or evaluation criteria.

This award demonstrates demand from Hampshire County Council for a small, defined cohort of Level 3 assistant accountant apprentices, delivered through education and training services. Suppliers best placed to compete when this requirement next comes to market would be training providers able to deliver an assistant-accountancy apprenticeship programme at this level and support a cohort of three learners. The selected provider was South Hampshire College Group, a large organisation, showing that the work was placed with an established provider; the procurement also identified the opportunity as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. Relevant businesses should therefore be able to demonstrate credible apprenticeship training provision for assistant-accountancy learners and capacity to serve the stated Winchester delivery location.
