## Description
South Hampshire College Group - Adult Skills Funding Subcontractor Procurement (Adult Skills Core non-devolved only)
We are pleased to confirm the start of our open procurement for the period November 2025 through to July 2026. Our approach is aligned with the Department for Education's subcontracting requirements and follows the light-touch regime outlined in the Procurement Act 2023. Contracts will cover the academic year 2025/26 only.
Our priority focus is on delivery to local leaners within Hampshire and the Isle of Wight where provision does not duplicate any existing College delivery. Any duplicated provision offered within this region will not be considered. As a secondary focus we will consider delivery in neighbouring counties (Dorset, Wiltshire, Berkshire, Surrey and Sussex) where it is to learners with home postcodes close to the Hampshire County boundary. The College will consider provision that duplicates existing College delivery within those neighbouring counties.
The College will not consider standalone delivery of maths or English qualifications.
Provision should be wholly aligned to the following Sector Subject Area's, with those sectors identified as a high priority to the College in the tender documents being scored more favourably:
• Accounting & finance
• Administration
• Animal care and veterinary science
• Building & construction (high priority)
• Business management
• Child development & wellbeing (high priority)
• Crafts, creative arts & designs (high priority)
• Digital technology (practitioners) (high priority)
• Digital technology (users) (high priority)
• Engineering
• Environmental conservation
• Foundations for learning & life
• Health & social care (high priority)
• Horticulture and forestry
• Hospitality & catering
• Law & legal services
• Manufacturing technologies
• Marketing & Sales
• Media & communications

• Performing arts
• Preparation for work (high priority)
• Public services
• Retailing and wholesaling
• Science
• Sport, leisure and recreation
• Teaching and lecturing
• Transportation operations and maintenance (aviation, maritime and rail focused only) (high priority)
• Travel and tourism
• Warehousing and distribution (high priority)
• English, English as a second language or maths only where this provision is offered as a secondary qualification alongside any of the provision listed above
The College is seeking to procure up to four suitable training providers to deliver non-devolved Adult Skills Core funded training in line with our subcontracting policy and the Department for Educations published guidance.
The maximum aggregate value of funds available will be up to £624,000 for the 2025/26 academic year in line with the timings stipulated in our Department for Education allocation breakdown (August-March and April-July).
The timeline for the procurement is as follows:
