UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Engineering Construction Industry Training Board (ECITB) is seeking a provider to deliver its 2027 Level 2 Pipefitting Scholarship Programme for England’s North East, focused on Teesside. This is a one-year training programme intended to deliver the skills and knowledge required for the pipefitting pathway. The work is education and training services, delivered in the North East of England. The procurement covers one programme rather than separately described training lots. The required pathway and cohort arrangements are set out in the programme specification and cohort requirements. The buyer is ECITB, the industry training board for engineering construction.

ECITB invited tender offers through an open competition. The enquiry deadline was 21 October 2026 at 23:59 UK time; the submission deadline was 26 October 2026 at 23:59 UTC. The stated contract period runs from 1 January 2027 to 31 July 2028, while the scholarship programme itself is described as one year, with delivery from September 2027. The estimated value is £70,000 gross. Evaluation comprises mandatory and discretionary pass/fail criteria, followed by technical criteria weighted at 80% and price at 20%. Bids were to be submitted by email to ECITB. The procurement is below the applicable threshold.

This opportunity is suited to training providers able to deliver Level 2 pipefitting education for a scholarship cohort in Teesside. Suppliers need to provide the skills and knowledge required for the pipefitting pathway and meet the cohort and discipline requirements and the pipefitting specification. Technical quality carries substantially more evaluation weight than price, so bidders should be able to demonstrate a strong delivery approach against the technical requirements as well as submit a competitive price. The programme is defined as a one-year scholarship, with delivery planned from September 2027. The procurement pack includes the specification, cohort requirements, draft contract, tender response document and pricing schedule, which outline the detailed delivery expectations and bid requirements.
