Summary of the contracting process

The Construction Industry Training Board (CITB), a sub-central government public authority based in Peterborough, UK, has awarded a contract for the provision of Carbon Literacy training. This procurement focused on the delivery of a bespoke course aimed at educating staff across England, Scotland, and Wales about the impact of climate change on the construction industry. Sustainability Centric, a small to medium-sized enterprise (SME) located in Stoke-on-Trent, has been selected as the supplier for this service contract. The contract, valued at £30,000, is set to commence on 18th May 2026 and run until 17th May 2028, with a possibility for a 12-month extension. This recent award follows a tendering process completed in April 2026, which included the participation of 10 bidders, with 9 being SMEs and 1 from a voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE).

This tender presents a substantial opportunity for businesses specialising in educational and training services, particularly those with expertise in sustainability and climate-related education. Firms that are familiar with the construction industry and possess accreditation from the Carbon Literacy Project would find themselves exceptionally suited to fulfil such contracts. The open procurement method encourages participation from diverse sectors, promoting competitive pricing and quality-based criteria. Businesses with a strong record in delivering impactful training programmes geared towards both organisational development and climate awareness stand to benefit considerably, complementing the growing need for sustainability-focused education in the construction sector.
