Summary of the contracting process

The Welsh Government has completed the procurement process for the "Delivery of Specific Apprenticeships Within the Construction Sector" contract, which falls under vocational training services in the UK construction industry. The contract has a total value of £1,500,000 and was signed on 3rd June 2021. This procurement was conducted using a limited method, specifically via negotiated procedure without prior publication, due to the unique requirements of the apprenticeship programme that only CITB can fulfil. The procurement is now in the award stage, effectively enabling the continuation of niche construction apprenticeships in Wales.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses focused on vocational training and apprenticeship schemes, especially those with a specialisation in construction-related qualifications. Companies that excel in delivering targeted training or have unique technical capabilities may find themselves well-positioned to partner with the Welsh Government or CITB in future initiatives. As this contract directly impacts the availability of apprenticeship placements, businesses capable of addressing gaps in the construction training market could significantly benefit from participating in related procurement opportunities.

Lot Information

Lot 1

The contract is to enable the delivery of continuing and new apprenticeships within specified niche construction occupations i.e. those occupations where the demand for apprenticeships is not sufficiently large enough in Wales to reach critical mass, or there is no viable alternative to support continuing scaffolding learners. The Welsh Government has concluded the procurement process for the award of the Apprenticeship Commissioning Programme, which was conducted in accordance with the Public Contracts Regulation 2015 ("The PCR"). None of the successful tenderers provide niche construction apprenticeships or can currently support continuing scaffolding apprentices. Save for CITB, no other third party organisation including unsuccessful tenderers can support the delivery of the niche construction apprenticeships required by WG. If WG do not award this contract; 1) circa 39 learners currently placed with CITB will become displaced learners, 2) Welsh learners will be excluded from accessing niche construction apprenticeships. For these reasons, the WG wishes to award a contract directly to CITB, for the delivery of niche construction apprenticeships in addition to supporting scaffolding apprentices continuing into the 2021/22 contract year, in accordance with regulation 32(2)(b)(ii) (Use of the Negotiated Procedure without Prior Publication) of the PCR.
