What is being bought

CITB, the Industry Training Board for the construction industry is seeking to commission a contractor to deliver research on employee retention in the construction sector and workforce flows into and out of the sector. Furthermore, CITB want to understand the volume and characteristics of cohorts/groups of workers in the construction and quantify who are more at risk of leaving the sector. This will enable resources to be directed at the cohorts who are the most preventable in terms of leaving the sector. Ultimately, the aim of this research project is to provide a complete overview of employee retention in the construction sector. This includes exploring why people leave the sector (indefinitely and returners) and to determine if there are any trends in characteristics of leavers.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 73. The category anchor is Research services (73110000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

Comparison setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence
Market: CPV division 731,8053 median · 39.1 average (566 of 1,805 with a bid count)2.8 average (641 of 1,805 with named award suppliers)Not published

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.

    "description": "A key strategic priority for CITB is the retention of trainees and current workers in the construction workforce. Each year a substantial number of individuals who train or have an interest in the construction decide to not pursue a career in the sector, which means the construction loses out on an estimated 60,000 potential new entrants. While attraction is important in terms of the increasing need for new workers into the sector, retention of existing workers is just as important to ensure the gap between supply and demand does not widen further.  Improved retention of workers in the sector has a number of advantages; increased productivity, greater workforce stability, long-term retention and the ability to shirk the skills shortage.",
