Summary of the contracting process

The Construction Industry Training Board (CITB) buys hired construction plant to supplement equipment used by its training departments when apprentice groups or commercial courses create higher demand. The range includes wheeled and tracked excavators, ride-on and pedestrian rollers, a tracked dozer, articulated dump trucks, forward-tipping dumpers, mobile elevating work platforms and telehandlers. There may also be a requirement for long-term hire at NCC South. The service is construction and civil engineering machinery hire, including equipment with an operator. Delivery is in the United Kingdom; the procurement does not identify a more specific delivery location.

The procurement is complete: Anglian Plant Limited was selected and the contract was signed. The award was made on 9 September 2026. The contract runs from 4 January 2027 to 2 January 2029, with a 2+1 arrangement and a maximum extent to 2 January 2030. The awarded contract value is £400,000 gross. CITB used an open procedure. The single lot was evaluated on quality, weighted at 60%, and price, weighted at 40%. The procurement received six bids, including four from SMEs. The award is active and the contract is recorded as active.

For plant-hire businesses, this award demonstrates demand from CITB for a broad range of construction equipment to support practical training and commercial courses, with potential for long-term hire at NCC South. A credible competitor would need access to varied machinery, including excavators across different sizes and types, dumpers, rollers, a dozer, a MEWP and a telehandler, and the operational capacity to supply equipment as training demand rises. The award to an SME and the four SME bids show that smaller suppliers participated and that this scale of requirement can attract them. Quality carried greater weight than price in the evaluation, so a strong future competitor would need to evidence dependable equipment provision and service alongside competitive pricing. The requirement is for plant hire, not a general construction project.
