## Summary

The Construction Industry Training Board (CITB) has awarded a contract for the provision of research services titled "Research brief Careers 2024-26 Via CCS RM6126." This procurement process focuses on enhancing the Skills & Training survey within the UK Construction Industry. The tender, which falls under the CPV classification of "Research services" (73110000), was completed in the East of England, UK, with a contract value of GBP 330,000. The procurement was in the award stage as of 31 July 2026, following the tender period ending on 23 July 2026. The contract will start on 31 July 2026 and continue until the end of 2029.

This contract represents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in data analysis and surveying within the construction industry. It is particularly suited for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with the capability to conduct comprehensive research and draw insights from multiple data sources. The project, awarded to the Institute for Employment Studies, provides a platform for businesses to engage in long-term, impactful work that informs strategic decisions within the industry, potentially leading to further collaborations with public sector bodies such as the CITB.

## Notice

CITB's Skills & Training in the UK Construction Industry survey has been running since 2008; this iteration of the survey will be the eighth wave. The original survey was commissioned because although there was a wealth of surveys1 on employers skill needs both within the construction industry and nationally; it was thought that none of these provided data representative of the whole construction industry. This year we would like to further develop the Skills & Training survey to incorporate analysis from other relevant surveys (such as those discussed above) on skill issues and commitment to workforce development. Thereby creating an effective single source of evidence representative of the current issues regarding skills and training within the UK construction industry. Without commissioning this research, there would be a gap in the evidence base which is used by CITB to make key strategic decisions. this award notice follows on from previous ones as they were incorrectly created for the value of 1 year not 5 year contract.
