## Summary

The Engineering Construction Industry Training Board is procuring education and training services for its 2027 Scholarships Programme in England’s East Coast. The requirement is for delivery of the skills and knowledge needed for a one-year Level 2 Pipefitting pathway, with detailed cohort requirements by discipline and a specification included in the procurement pack. The work is intended to support scholarship learners entering or developing in the engineering construction industry. The programme covers England’s East Coast, while the procurement record identifies the delivery country as the United Kingdom. ECITB is the buying organisation and is a sub-central public authority. This opportunity suits training providers with relevant pipefitting education and skills-delivery expertise.

The process reached tender: ECITB invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. It has one lot and is being run under the light-touch regime. The deadline for bidder enquiries was 11 September 2026 at 23:59, and the tender submission deadline was 16 September 2026 at 23:59. Tenders had to be submitted by email to procurement@ecitb.org.uk because ECITB does not use an e-procurement portal. The contract period is 1 January 2027 to 31 July 2028. The estimated gross value is £56,294 including taxes. Bids must meet mandatory pass/fail requirements, then are evaluated on technical quality at 80% and price at 20%.

This opportunity is suited to organisations that can deliver structured vocational training in Level 2 Pipefitting and provide the required skills and knowledge for an engineering construction scholarship pathway. Bidders should be able to meet the cohort requirements for the discipline and deliver the specification set out for the programme. Relevant teaching, assessment, learner-support and industry-facing capability would be important to demonstrating technical quality, which carries most of the evaluation weighting. The contract is suitable for a provider able to support a defined scholarship cohort across the England East Coast area and manage delivery over the stated programme period. The requirement may also suit specialist training organisations, colleges or established engineering skills providers with appropriate delivery capacity.
