## Summary

The Construction Industry Training Board (CITB) is procuring event build and exhibition services for SkillBuild, its construction skills competition programme. The appointed specialist event build team will create consistent, safe and high-quality competition environments for multiple Regional Qualifiers across the UK and the National Final. The work covers event services, including the physical build and exhibition requirements needed to showcase vocational excellence, support skills development and raise awareness of careers in construction. Delivery is required across the United Kingdom. This is a services contract for a supplier able to operate nationally and support a programme involving several regional events alongside a national final.

The procurement has reached tender: CITB invited offers through an open procedure, using a two-stage process. The first stage is an expression of interest (EOI) to shortlist suppliers for invitation to the final invitation to tender (ITT) stage. Enquiries were due by 7 September 2026 at 12:00, and tender submissions were due by 28 September 2026 at 12:00. The award decision was scheduled for 8 October 2026. The contract period is 1 February 2027 to 31 January 2028, with two 12-month renewal periods available and a maximum end date of 31 January 2030. The published estimated value is £0. Evaluation is based on service delivery (35%), management of third parties (30%) and relevant experience (35%).

This opportunity suits event production, exhibition build and specialist event infrastructure suppliers with the capacity to deliver safely and consistently at multiple locations across the UK. It is marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so smaller firms may compete where they can demonstrate the required delivery capability, either directly or through a suitable delivery model. Strong evidence will be needed on how the service will be managed, how third parties or subcontracted contributors will be controlled, and experience of delivering comparable event or exhibition environments. Suppliers with relevant experience in multi-site programmes, competition events, construction-sector events or nationally coordinated exhibitions are likely to be well placed to respond.
