Basildon Construction Academy
Description: Basildon Borough Council is exploring opportunities to establish and operate a new Basildon Construction Academy that will support the delivery of local skills, training, employment and apprenticeship opportunities aligned with the borough's regeneration and growth ambitions. Prior to commencing any formal procurement process, the Council is seeking to engage with experienced training providers, further education institutions, industry operators, and consortium partners to help shape the future operating model for the Academy. The Council is therefore inviting interested organisations to participate in an interactive pre-market engagement workshop to discuss opportunities, challenges, delivery models and options appraisals to help form the specification.
Summary: Basildon Borough Council is in the planning stage of establishing the Basildon Construction Academy, a project aimed at enhancing local skills training, employment, and apprenticeship opportunities to support the borough's regeneration efforts. The procurement process is in the planning update stage, with a focus on engaging stakeholders through an interactive workshop scheduled for 4th August 2026 at the Basildon Centre. This workshop will involve discussions on potential operational models, curriculum offerings, and other relevant areas. Located in Basildon, UKH3 region, the initiative falls under the services category, particularly in adult and other education services and the operation of educational centres.
