Summary of the contracting process

The Construction Industry Training Board (CITB) is seeking to engage market participants for an upcoming tender focused on providing Carbon Literacy training. This procurement process is currently in the planning stage, with the intention to hire Carbon Literacy Project (CLP) accredited trainers who can deliver a specialized course tailored to the construction industry’s needs across various UK regions, including England, Scotland, and Wales. The process invites stakeholders to submit responses by 16th February 2026 through an e-tendering portal. This procurement relates to the services industry, specifically administrative educational services, with a projected contract value of £30,000. The proposed contract period spans from 30th April 2026 to 29th April 2028, with a potential extension until 2029.

This opportunity provides a substantial growth prospect for businesses experienced in delivering educational services, especially those with a focus on sustainability and climate change impacts.

Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with capabilities in offering bespoke educational solutions and those keen to penetrate the market for environmentally-focused training services stand well-positioned to benefit from this procurement.
