## Summary

The Construction Industry Training Board (CITB) has completed a tender process for the "Provision of Accommodation for Trainees" under a negotiated procurement method due to extreme urgency stemming from unforeseen pandemic-related circumstances. This procurement focuses on providing accommodation services tailored for college and training providers, including meals and transport, predominantly within the United Kingdom. The related contract, valued at £30 million and signed on 1st January 2020, has an active award to Book-O-Tel Limited (T/A ArrangeMY), with the contract's extension options extending until December 2024.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses in the accommodation and transport sectors, especially those with the capacity to provide comprehensive hospitality services for training institutions. Firms that can offer flexible, high-quality accommodation solutions, along with efficient transportation logistics, are particularly well-suited to compete. The CITB's ongoing plans for competitive tendering also indicate future openings for suppliers looking to expand their service offerings in this vital educational sector.

### Procurement Information

During the uncertainty of the pandemic many contracts were not fully utilised, this contract in particular started January 2020 a short time before the UK was forced in to Lockdown measures. Due to those unforeseen circumstances the Trainee Accommodation contract could not be used as businesses were forced to close their doors. The suppliers involved in this tender exercise all bid on a PS30 million contract and the winning bidder would have incurred the set up costs but not the associated business for this contract. CITB wish to extend this contract using a VEAT notice for 12 months (31/12/2023) and an option for up to a further 12 months after (31/12/2024). CITB will undertake a competitive tender exercise alongside this VEAT notice in due course.
