## Summary

The Construction Industry Training Board (CITB) procured plumbing and sanitary works for the refurbishment of bedroom accommodation block 3. The requirement covers practical plumbing work associated with the refurbishment rather than a general facilities-management service. CITB is the buying organisation, based in Peterborough, and the work is intended to be supported by local resources. The procurement was classified as works, with the relevant classification being plumbing and sanitary works. It was arranged as one completed lot. This requirement is relevant to plumbing and building-services contractors able to undertake refurbishment work in accommodation buildings, organise site resources locally and deliver the associated installation or alteration works. The appointed supplier was a small and medium-sized enterprise, indicating that the scale and delivery model were accessible to an SME contractor.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition with a limited invitation. The award was made to Bruce Towers & Sons Limited on 17 September 2026. The awarded value is £105,443.81 excluding VAT, or £126,532.57 including VAT. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 1 March 2027, with signature scheduled by 30 September 2026. There was one lot, and two bids were received at the final stage, both from SMEs. The award was active when recorded. The stated reason for using a limited invitation was that the requirement needed local support and resources. The procurement was evaluated through the limited competition process; no further award criteria are stated in the available procurement details.

For a supplier assessing future CITB requirements, this procurement demonstrates demand for a defined package of plumbing and sanitary works within a bedroom-accommodation refurbishment. A credible competitor would need practical experience of refurbishment projects, the technical capability to deliver plumbing and sanitary installations or alterations, and sufficient resources to work within an occupied or operational accommodation setting where relevant. Local delivery capability mattered: the buyer expressly required local support and resources and used a limited invitation route. The two final-stage bids, both from SMEs, show that the requirement was commercially accessible to smaller contractors with appropriate capacity. Businesses with a proven record of coordinated site work, reliable mobilisation, competent plumbing operatives and the ability to manage a self-contained works package would be well placed for a comparable CITB requirement.
