## Summary

The Engineering Construction Industry Training Board (ECITB) has concluded the award stage of its procurement process for the 2025 ECITB Scholarship Programme in the North West, North East, and Humber regions. The initiative, classified under the education and training services sector, involves a contract spanning from 3rd March 2025 to 31st July 2026, with a total value of GBP 405,000. Notably, the procurement method was a single tender action, below threshold, and included five lots covering areas such as fabrication, welding, and pipe fitting across different locations like Cumbria, Birkenhead, and Humberside. The ECITB, headquartered in Kings Langley, aims to enhance skills in the engineering construction industry through this one-year academic programme.

This tender provides significant opportunities for SMEs and organisations within the education and training sector, promoting business growth by addressing regional skill shortages. Companies specialised in engineering training, particularly those with expertise in disciplines like pipe fitting, fabrication, and mechanical works, stand a great chance of benefiting from this project. Given the scope of work across different regions, businesses with the capability to manage multiple lots can maximise their chances of success, providing tailored training solutions to meet industry standards and increase their footprint in the education sector.
