The procurement process is currently in the Tender stage, with the tender period ending on 13 May 2022. The total contract value is estimated at £50,000, and the successful supplier is required to provide a minimum of 15% match-funding. The contract period is set to commence on 6 June 2022 and will run until 31 March 2025. This opportunity represents significant growth potential for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in training services within the construction sector. Businesses that can offer innovative virtual experiences that engage participants and promote construction careers are particularly well-suited to compete. Furthermore, collaboration with CITB's Onsite Experience Hubs will be crucial to meet the project requirements, thereby enhancing visibility and influence within the industry. ## Notice NOTE: This notice was updated on 06 May 2022 for the following reason: Deadline extended to take into account bank holiday(CITB are investing PS30,000 in an innovative commission to provide virtual tasters in construction. The successful supplier will need to provide a minimum of 15% match-funding. CITB defines a taster as: "short-duration insight into a construction working environment or particular career path(s), delivered physically or virtually. Examples of tasters include but are not limited to: *A 'day in the life' of presentation, giving an in-depth account of a particular role *Site tours *Open Days *Work-shadowing" The provider must ensure virtual tasters are of a standard and quality that positively promotes construction as an aspirational career path and are engaging and informative to support individuals to make good career choices. Primarily the supplier will need to work in close collaboration with CITB's commissioned Onsite Experience Hubs to ensure the virtual tasters are aligned to their needs, and the outputs from this commission can be successfully incorporated into the Onsite Experience programme (please see Annex A for more information on CITB's Onsite Experience Commission). The scope of this commission has purposely been kept relatively broad to enable innovation. Any specific requirements are detailed in the following sections, which a supplier will be expected to meet. This commission will run for an initial 12-month period to develop and launch the virtual construction tasters with the expectation that the supplier will include monitoring for an additional 12 months (minimum) post launch within their tender. Furthermore, the supplier will need to provide evidence of sustainability to ensure the virtual tasters can be rolled-out to a wider audience within the construction industry. They will also need to ensure there is an appropriate mechanism in place to monitor their reach and an embedded exit survey to monitor outcomes.) Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f6367dcc-6ffa-4ef5-9d2f-3aba8f8f776d | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 6 May 2022 | | Submission deadline | 13 May 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 5 Jun 2022 - 31 Mar 2025 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £50,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY TRAINING BOARD | | Locality | KING'S LYNN | | Post town | Peterborough | | Postcode | PE31 6RH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH5 Norfolk | | ITL 3 | TLH52 North and West Norfolk | | Local authority | King's Lynn and West Norfolk | | Electoral ward | Bircham with Rudhams | | Westminster constituency | North West Norfolk | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 80 - Education and training services ### Codes - 80500000 - Training services ## Release History - 6 May 2022 at 07:30 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f6367dcc-6ffa-4ef5-9d2f-3aba8f8f776d - 20 Apr 2022 at 11:30 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f6367dcc-6ffa-4ef5-9d2f-3aba8f8f776d ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/f6367dcc-6ffa-4ef5-9d2f-3aba8f8f776d 6th May 2022 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.delta-esourcing.com/tenders/UK-GB-UK-wide:-Virtual-Tasters-VTAS-04-22/RJ6AN7Z952 Please follow this link to view the notice. ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
