## Summary

The Construction Industry Training Board (CITB) has completed the tender process for a research project titled "Research into Careers in Construction Research brief Careers 2024-26". This project, categorised under the "Research services" industry, focuses on analysing skills and training within the UK construction industry. The contract was awarded on 2nd September 2024, with the Institute for Employment Studies selected as the supplier. The project will span five years, commencing on 3rd September 2024 and concluding on 2nd September 2029. The procurement method followed was an open procedure, ensuring a competitive bidding environment. The project covers various locations including the British Oversea Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, and the United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, especially for companies specialising in research services within the construction sector. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) could particularly benefit, given their eligibility for participation. The project’s aim to create a comprehensive evidence base for strategic decision-making within CITB highlights the demand for skilled research organisations capable of synthesising data from multiple surveys and sources. Businesses with expertise in workforce development, data analysis, and construction industry insights would be well-suited to meet the project's requirements and contribute valuable research findings.

## 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.
