Following a competitive bidding process in 2022, Gement Ltd submitted a successful bid to CITB's England Construction Opportunities commission, and have been operating a CITB ECO hub in London. The hub has performed strongly against its original KPIs and is well-established with strong buy-in and utilisation from all expected regional partners, including a cross-section of construction employers. CITB intend to award a further £534,624 to Gement to deliver an additional 750 construction employment outcomes, with no set-up costs or lead-in time as the hub is already in full operation and well-embedded in the region and will extend to the home counties and wider geographical areas.

Published justification

Gement is the only project currently that could produce further outputs to enable the ECO commission to reach its target numbers. It should be noted that this provider was originally selected through a competitive process in 2022 and that CITB are not the beneficiary of the services, rather, we are facilitating the continued provision of the mentoring support solution for employers and employees from communities in London, the Home Counties and a wider geographical area with the expansion of the online mentoring model. The lead-in time to establish an alternative ECO hub is several months, and the existing provider is already in close partnership with all key stakeholders required to deliver the additional services, without the requirement for additional set-up costs. Based on our extensive experience of developing the ECO hub network, CITB do not believe it would be possible for a new provider to mobilise quickly enough to deliver the same number, quality and cost of outcomes within the existing timescales of this programme. There are likely to be some barriers to entry for any potential new entrants, which would also disadvantage them in any competition on quality, time and cost.
