two.1.4) Short description

This proposal sets out an idea for a new and innovative commission for CITB, and a new opportunity in Scotland.

The commission aims to provide support to individuals entering the construction workforce to overcome any initial challenges they may face and to provide ongoing in-work support over the duration of the commission to improve the quality and longevity of work outcomes for participants.

The specific criteria for this commission will be to fund the support given to individuals on entering a new job in construction, with additional key performance indicators set at 3 months and 6 months sustained employment. As this intervention is supporting new individuals into construction, it will be a pre-requisite of the commission for individuals to start the programme with the appropriate training and on-site experiences in place. Successful suppliers will need to evidence this requirement, including interventions to become Employment and Site Ready, but this must be funded by the supplier through other funding routes outside of this commission.

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

Due to the geographic diversity of Scotland, the commission will be split into two lots:

Lot 1 – Highlands and Islands

Lot 2 –Scotland Central and Southern

two.1.5) Estimated total value

Value excluding VAT: £3,000,000
