## Summary

The Construction Industry Training Board (CITB) has completed the procurement process for the Skillbuild Finals Event, focusing on event management services and logistics support. This contract, awarded to Bubble Event Services Ltd, involves providing comprehensive services for the transport and delivery of goods required for the event, which is scheduled to occur in the United Kingdom, specifically within the UKH11 region. The procurement was conducted through a direct award method due to specific technical reasons where Bubble has historically handled these events and the regional heats of Skillbuild. This process reached the award stage on 8th April 2026, and the contract running period is set from 21st April 2026 to 31st December 2026, valued at approximately £234,808 GBP.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in event management and logistics to align with key industry players. Companies with a proven track record in large-scale event execution, particularly smaller and medium-sized enterprises, stand to benefit from the visibility and experience that such a high-profile event offers. Engaging with CITB through this procurement may open doors for long-term collaboration, especially for firms looking to enhance their credentials within the public sector's event management services industry category.
