two.2.4) Description of the procurement
CITB requires several providers to further develop construction employment opportunities in England through a new commission called the England Construction Opportunities (‘ECO’), that supports:
a) new entrants recently employed in the construction industry;
b) returners that have been out of the construction Industry for over 2 years.
Many of these new entrants will enter employment through existing partnerships with providers, the Department of Work and Pensions (‘DWP’), Local Enterprise Partnerships and Growth Funds, Mayoral Funds and other means of funding. Research has shown that the more support available to new entrants when entering into employment increases the likelihood of their retention.
This 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.
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 tendering for up to 100 of the outputs each per year and up to 3 larger providers to tender for over 100 outputs each per year.
