ACTIVE Cup Project Simulation Programme

Description

Engineering Construction Industry Training Board (ECITB) is the employer-led skills, standards and qualifications body for the development of the engineering construction workforce of Great Britain. An arms-length body of the UK Government, the ECITB reports to the Department for Education. Our vision is a trailblazing Engineering Construction Industry where critical infrastructure, energy security and net zero ambitions are achieved. The ECITB works with employers and training providers to attract, develop and qualify the engineering construction workforce in a wide range of craft, technical and professional disciplines. We invest about £28 million each year to support skills development within the industry. The ECITB is looking to procure a Supplier for a 3 year agreement (with two (2) optional one (1) year extensions), to develop and deliver the ECITB's ACTIVE Cup. The ACTIVE Cup is a project management competition for the engineering construction industry, originally designed with reinforcing the ACTIVE principles at its core. It is to be delivered as a face-to-face 'hive-style' four-day competitive learning event based on behavioural project management and collaboration for the Engineering Construction Industry (ECI). Delivery of the Pilot programme is due in September 2026 with first delivery in November 2026. The competition is to be delivered three times per year, once in late January, once in April and once in November, avoiding bank holidays, school holidays and peak industry periods, with each event running from Tuesday through to Friday. Two of these events are to be delivered in England and one in Scotland. This highly popular competition welcomes delegates from companies representing a range of sectors within the ECI.
