2027 ECITB Scholarships Programme: ENGLAND LONDON & SOUTHWEST

How to get involved

As part of our commitment to open, transparent and effective procurement, we are inviting interested organisations to engage with us ahead of the formal tender process. This early engagement provides an opportunity for suppliers to gain an understanding of our future requirements, ask questions, and help us ensure that our procurement approach reflects current market capability and innovation. Please note this is not a call for competition at this stage.

We encourage all organisations with relevant experience and capability to express their interest and participate in our forthcoming Pre-Market Engagement (PME) Webinar on the 23 July 2026 @ 11:00. During the session we will:

• Who the ECITB are, our strategic objectives and anticipated service requirements.
• Provide an overview of the proposed procurement timetable and approach.
• Outline the expected scope of the contract(s) including Regions, disciplines, and optimal funding models.
• Invite feedback and questions from the supplier market to help inform the final procurement documentation and timetable.

Participation in this pre-market engagement is entirely voluntary and is intended solely to inform both ECITB and potential suppliers. It does not form part of any formal procurement process, will not be evaluated, and will not provide any supplier with an advantage in any subsequent tender exercise.

Following completion of the pre-market engagement, ECITB intends to publish the formal procurement opportunities via Find a Tender Service, where all interested suppliers will have an equal opportunity to compete.

We welcome engagement from organisations of all sizes and look forward to working collaboratively with the market to deliver successful and impactful Scholarships Programmes in 2027.

Further information, including details of how to register for the PME webinar and access supporting information, can be found within this notice. We encourage suppliers to register their interest via the Webinar link to receive updates and further communications relating to the Webinar.
