## 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 an apprenticeship in business administration, rather than the supply of general administrative staff. The work is associated with Hampshire County Council and is delivered in Winchester, Hampshire. The procurement is intended for a single apprentice and forms part of the council’s workforce development activity. It is a services requirement suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, as well as voluntary, community and social enterprises. Businesses operating as apprenticeship training providers, further education organisations or specialist vocational training companies would be the most relevant potential suppliers for this type of requirement.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 31 July 2026 to Fareport Training Organisation Limited. It was run as a selective call-off from a framework agreement, with a tender submission deadline of 31 July 2026 at 5pm. The awarded value is £5,000, with a contract period from 3 August 2026 to 27 January 2028. The requirement was for one apprentice and was evaluated through the framework call-off process. The contract is classified under education and training services. The selected supplier is an active award recipient, and the tender status is complete. Hampshire County Council is the buying organisation for the arrangement.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from Hampshire County Council for structured Level 3 business administration apprenticeship provision for an individual learner. Suppliers well placed for comparable work would be organisations able to deliver regulated or otherwise recognised apprenticeship training, provide a suitable business administration curriculum, support the learner throughout the programme and coordinate effectively with the council as employer. Experience of delivering Level 3 apprenticeships, managing learner progress, providing assessment and maintaining employer communication would strengthen credibility. The requirement is small in learner numbers but extends over a substantial training and support period, making it most relevant to established apprenticeship providers and smaller specialist training organisations able to deliver personalised provision.
