## Summary

The Construction Industry Training Board (CITB) procured plumbing and sanitary works for the refurbishment of bedroom accommodation block 3 at its National Construction College in Norfolk. The work covered the plumbing requirements of the accommodation refurbishment. The procurement was structured as a single lot and delivered in the United Kingdom. CITB was the buyer, and the works were awarded to Bruce Towers & Sons Limited, a Fakenham-based supplier. This is a building refurbishment requirement centred on plumbing installation or related plumbing works, rather than a general construction services contract. Suppliers whose business includes plumbing works for accommodation buildings are the closest match to the requirement.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Bruce Towers & Sons Limited. CITB used a below-threshold limited competition, inviting a restricted group of suppliers because local support and resources were required. The award date was 20 October 2026, and the contract was signed that day. The contract period runs from 9 November 2026 to 1 March 2027. Its value is £105,443.81 excluding VAT (£126,532.57 including VAT). There was one lot, covering the plumbing works for the bedroom accommodation refurbishment. The stated basis for limiting competition was the need for local support and resources; the procurement data does not set out a separate scored evaluation basis or further supplier eligibility requirements.

For suppliers considering comparable future work for CITB, this award shows demand for a focused plumbing package within accommodation refurbishment, delivered on site and requiring local support and resources. A credible competitor would need the workforce, supervision and practical capacity to carry out plumbing works as part of a building refurbishment, and to mobilise locally to meet the project’s delivery needs. Experience in plumbing and sanitary works in accommodation buildings would be relevant to demonstrating fit. The successful supplier was a small or medium-sized enterprise based in Fakenham, showing that this scale of work was delivered by a regional specialist rather than requiring a large national contractor. Businesses with a local operating base or the ability to provide dependable local presence may therefore be well placed when CITB procures similar work.
