Summary of the contracting process

The Construction Industry Training Board (CITB) is appointing a strategic digital delivery partner for its Digital Transformation Programme. The work covers managed, multidisciplinary digital delivery: designing, delivering, operating, supporting, enhancing and optimising CITB’s public-facing digital services. The partner is expected to provide specialist expertise, governance, support and continuous improvement, making use of CITB’s existing digital capabilities built on Umbraco and Microsoft technologies. Replacing CITB’s strategic web content management platform is outside the scope. This is a digital services and systems consultancy requirement, delivered in Peterborough, England.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to S8080 Ltd. The award date was 15 October 2026 and the awarded value is £106,410. The contract period runs from 30 October 2026 to 28 October 2027, with the possibility of four 12-month extensions. CITB used an open procedure. Bids were assessed on technical quality (70%), price (25%) and social value (5%). The single lot was marked suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Eight bids reached the final stage, all from SMEs. The tender submission deadline was 18 September 2026 and the deadline for enquiries was 2 September 2026.

This award shows demand for a strategic delivery partner able to work across the full lifecycle of public-facing digital services, rather than simply build or replace a content management platform. A credible competitor would need multidisciplinary delivery capacity, specialist knowledge of Umbraco and Microsoft technologies, and the ability to combine design and implementation with ongoing operation, support and optimisation. Strong governance and a demonstrable approach to continuous improvement would be important, alongside evidence of delivering technical outcomes and social value: technical quality carried substantially more weight than price in this competition. The eight final-stage bids were all from SMEs, indicating that this requirement was within the reach of smaller suppliers as well as larger firms. Suppliers would need capacity to sustain a long-term partnership and respond to evolving digital needs.
