Description

CITB are looking to change the delivery of Functional Skills (England), Core Skills (Scotland), Essential Skills (Wales) in English and Maths for CITB construction apprentices, by changing the learner environment to accommodate different learner styles, learner preferences and learner behaviours. A major part of this will be to change the furniture; the types and styles of chairs and tables; furniture which can be rearranged to suit different learners and different styles of teaching.

CITB therefore wishes to procure a single supplier to provide furniture for collaborative and social learning spaces at each of four training providers (1 in Scotland/ 2 in England/ 1 in Wales). These four spaces have been provisionally selected by the CITB Apprenticeships team from their existing provider network. The environment would prioritise delivery of Functional/Core/Essential Skills to CITB construction apprentices, but it will also be available to support other groups of learners. The intention is to provide a quality furniture solution which would act as a vehicle for enhanced learner engagement and a catalyst for accelerated progression.
This is a one off procurement; however it is part of a pilot with a view to the idea being rolled out to other providers if the outcomes arising front this procurement are successful. Any roll out does not form part of this procurement.
