    Brief

    The Engineering Construction Industry Training Board (ECITB) is inviting pre-market engagement from training providers ahead of formal tenders for the 2027 Scholarships Programme. This is a flagship new entrant initiative designed to address skills shortages in the UK engineering construction industry through employer-led, full-time technical training leading directly to employment or apprenticeships. The programme will operate across seven regions (Central Belt of Scotland, Cumbria, Humber Region, North East England, North West England, South East England, and South West England) and cover seven disciplines (Mechanical, Pipefitting, Welding, Plating, Rigging, Design and Draughting). Contract delivery commences September 2027, with formal tenders launching August 2026. The ECITB is hosting a free Pre-Market Engagement Webinar on 23 July 2026 at 11:00 to outline service requirements, procurement approach, contract scope, and funding models. This early engagement is voluntary, non-competitive, and will not disadvantage any organisation in subsequent tender competitions. Participation provides an opportunity to understand requirements, ask questions, and help shape the final procurement documentation. All organisations with relevant experience and capability are encouraged to register and engage.
