    Brief

    This is a Request for Tender (RFT) to establish a multi-supplier framework agreement for the supply, delivery, installation, and commissioning of pipefitting apprenticeship equipment. The equipment will serve three Education and Training Boards: Cork Education and Training Board (CETB), Waterford and Wexford Education and Training Board (WWETB), and Louth and Meath Education and Training Board (LMETB). The scope includes pipework, mechanical equipment, Orbitalum welding equipment, and cutting and bending tools required for the pipefitting apprenticeship curriculum. Over 90% of pipefitting apprentices enter employment in the pharmaceutical, food processing, or semiconductor manufacturing sectors. The ETBs seek to provide apprentices with industry-leading technology that matches the accuracy and precision standards required in these high-tech production environments, ensuring graduates are job-ready upon employment.
