## Summary

The Construction Industry Training Board (CITB) has awarded a contract for research into Skills & Training. The procurement process reached the award stage on 15th December 2023. The contract, valued at £74,068.20 GBP, was awarded to Harlow Consulting Services Limited. The research and development services and related consultancy services contract will run from 12th January 2024 to 14th December 2024. This opportunity falls under the services category and follows an open procedure.

This tender offers a growth opportunity for businesses able to provide research and consultancy services in the field of Skills & Training. Companies with expertise in research and development related to workforce skills and training within the construction industry are well-suited to compete. The contract duration and value provide a medium-term project for the selected supplier, Harlow Consulting Services Limited, to demonstrate their capabilities in this specialised sector, contributing to the evidence base for strategic decisions within the UK construction industry.

## 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.
