UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Engineering Construction Industry Training Board (ECITB) has completed the procurement process for the 2026 Scholarship Programme focusing on the London and South West regions of England. This procurement, encompassing the education and training services category, aimed to secure contracts for skills and knowledge delivery in areas such as design, draughting, pipe fitting, and welding. The programme was divided into four lots, all awarded on 10 June 2026, and implemented via an open competitive process. Contracts were awarded to Harrow, Richmond and Uxbridge College, University Centre Somerset College Group, and Train4All Limited, and the active contracts will run until 31 July 2027 for most lots. This initiative, hosted by ECITB, a public authority in the UK sub-central government, was designated a light-touch procurement regime under UK legislation 2023/54.

The tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses in the education and training sectors, particularly those specialising in construction skills. Companies, including large enterprises and SMEs, that can provide high-quality training services and demonstrate an ability to meet the specified Cohort Requirements and Specification Document criteria, were considered suitable contenders. Participation in such government-backed programmes allows businesses to enhance their market credibility, secure a steady revenue stream through multi-year contracts, and contribute significantly to regional skills development. Both large-scale organisations and SMEs had the chance to submit competitive bids for these contracts, facilitating business growth through collaboration with governmental bodies.
