This tender by Hampshire County Council presents an opportunity for various businesses, including educational establishments, training organisations, and employer representative groups, to engage in delivering training and skills-based initiatives. Businesses suited for this tender must have the capacity to cater to diverse training needs across locations in Hampshire and neighbouring counties. The long-term nature of the framework allows for consistent business opportunities, with awards tailored to different funding sources and grant conditions.
