England Construction Opportunities

Following our previous Market Engagement notice CITB is now ready to proceed with the England Construction Opportunities tender.

CITB requires several suppliers to further develop construction employment opportunities in England through a new commission called, the England Construction Opportunities (ECO), that supports new entrants into the construction industry.

The budget for this commission is £1.82m over 3 years with no capital expenditure.

The specific criteria in the tender will focus on the support provided in the workplace through job coaching, mentoring, employer engagement, peer and buddy systems or other appropriate support measures to improve the quality and sustainability of work outcomes. This support will be reviewed at 3 and 6 months sustained employment outputs with destination tracking of individuals through a 12-month cycle to evidence outcomes of the support.

The commission will require providers to have in place pre-existing relationships with other agencies to manage the training and development required for an individual to become employment and site ready to enter a construction job.

The commission is looking to award to a mix of providers; 2-3 small providers and 3-4 larger providers.

An introductory webinar to the tender and application process will be held, details below and on our website at www.citb.co.uk.

Tuesday 7th June at 11:00 hours
