Summary of the contracting process

The Engineering Construction Industry Training Board (ECITB) has concluded the award stage of its procurement process for the 2025 ECITB Scholarship Programme in the North West, North East, and Humber regions. The initiative, classified under the education and training services sector, involves a contract spanning from 3rd March 2025 to 31st July 2026, with a total value of GBP 405,000. Notably, the procurement method was a single tender action, below threshold, and included five lots covering areas such as fabrication, welding, and pipe fitting across different locations like Cumbria, Birkenhead, and Humberside.
