The requirement is for managed digital delivery services, including the multidisciplinary delivery capability, specialist expertise, governance, operational support and continuous improvement needed to develop and run CITB’s public-facing digital services. The partner will support their design, delivery, operation, enhancement and optimisation, helping CITB maximise its existing investment in Umbraco and Microsoft technologies. The work is systems consultancy and related digital delivery services. It does not include replacing CITB’s strategic web content management platform: Umbraco remains the chosen CMS. The buyer is based in Peterborough, and the services support CITB’s public-facing digital operations across the United Kingdom. The process has reached tender: CITB invited offers through an open procedure. The deadline for enquiries was 2 September 2026 at 23:59, and the deadline for submitting offers is 18 September 2026 at 12:00. Offers are submitted electronically, in English, through the stated eSourcing portal. Evaluation is weighted 70% technical quality, 25% price and 5% social value. The contract is planned to run from 19 October 2026 to 18 October 2027, with four possible 12-month extensions subject to annual review, giving a maximum end date of 18 October 2031. The expected award decision date is 7 October 2026 at 23:59. The published procurement value is £0 gross, in GBP. There is one lot, and the opportunity is above the applicable threshold. This opportunity suits digital delivery consultancies and systems integrators able to provide a long-term strategic partnership rather than a narrowly defined project team. Strong candidates will combine Umbraco and Microsoft technology expertise with multidisciplinary delivery across service design, development, implementation, operation, enhancement and optimisation. They will need the governance capability to manage a strategic digital programme, specialist technical expertise, dependable support arrangements and a structured approach to continuous improvement. Experience operating and improving public-facing digital services will be relevant, as will the capacity to provide sustained delivery and operational support over a potentially extended relationship. The requirement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so established specialist firms as well as larger suppliers may be well placed to compete, provided they can demonstrate the required breadth and resilience. ## Notice The Construction Industry Training Board (CITB) is seeking to appoint a Strategic Digital Delivery Partner to support the delivery of its Digital Transformation Programme. This procurement is for the provision of managed digital delivery services and does not include the replacement of CITB's strategic web content management platform. CITB has adopted Umbraco as its strategic CMS and has invested significantly in modern digital capabilities built on Umbraco and Microsoft technologies. The successful supplier will provide the multidisciplinary delivery capability, specialist expertise, governance, support and continuous improvement services required to maximise this investment and deliver CITB's strategic objectives. The supplier will operate as a long-term strategic partner, supporting the design, delivery, operation, enhancement and optimisation of CITB's public-facing digital services.
