## Summary

The Engineering Construction Industry Training Board is procuring education and training services for its 2027 ECITB Scholarships Programme in Scotland’s Central Belt. The requirement is for delivery of the skills and knowledge covered by the scholarship programme, specifically the one-year Level 5 Mechanical pathway. The work is intended to support scholarship learners through the mechanical discipline requirements set out by ECITB. It is a service contract for a training provider or other organisation with the appropriate teaching, workshop and learner-support capability to deliver mechanical engineering training. The buyer is the Engineering Construction Industry Training Board, a public authority responsible for skills development in the engineering construction industry. Delivery is focused on Scotland’s Central Belt, with the detailed cohort requirements and mechanical specification defining the expected provision.

The process has reached tender: ECITB has invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. There is one lot, with an estimated gross value of £102,000 including VAT. The contract period is from 1 January 2027 to 31 July 2028. Questions must be submitted by 11:59pm on 11 September 2026, and tenders must be emailed by 11:59pm on 16 September 2026 to procurement@ecitb.org.uk. Electronic submission is allowed, and ECITB requires tenders to be sent by email rather than through an e-procurement portal. Evaluation uses mandatory pass/fail requirements, followed by technical criteria weighted at 80% and price weighted at 20%. The Invitation to Tender, mechanical specification, cohort requirements and schedule of prices set out the detailed requirements and selection conditions.

This opportunity suits training providers and engineering education organisations able to deliver a structured Level 5 Mechanical pathway for scholarship learners in Scotland’s Central Belt. Bidders need to demonstrate that they can provide the skills and knowledge required by the ECITB programme and meet the cohort requirements by discipline and the mechanical specification. Relevant capability includes delivering mechanical engineering teaching and supporting learners through the required programme outcomes. The evaluation gives technical quality four times the weighting of price, so organisations with a strong, well-developed technical delivery model are well placed to compete. Suppliers should also be able to prepare a compliant tender, complete the schedule of prices and meet the mandatory pass/fail requirements in the Invitation to Tender.
