## Summary

Hampshire County Council procured training and support for five Level 3 Digital Support Technician apprentices. The work is an education and training service for delivery in Winchester. The requirement is focused on developing digital support technicians rather than a general training programme.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Cambridge Spark. The council used a selective procedure to call off from a framework agreement. The award was made on 1 October 2026, for £65,000. The contract period runs from 2 October 2026 to 18 January 2028. The original tender deadline was 1 October 2026. The opportunity was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The published information identifies the training requirement but does not describe a separate evaluation basis.

This award shows demand from Hampshire County Council for a defined, small cohort of Level 3 Digital Support Technician apprentices, delivered through a framework call-off. A credible competitor for a future version of this requirement would need to demonstrate that it can provide relevant digital support technician training and support five apprentices as a group. The procurement was identified as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so organisations of those types can be relevant competitors. The award provides a practical reference point for providers assessing whether their apprenticeship delivery model and capacity fit this buyer’s specific digital support training need.
