Procurement at CITB
This page provides information on how we purchase goods and services, how to register, stay up to date and respond to procurement opportunities.
Our approach
CITB adopts a variety of sourcing approaches to meet our requirements and always seek to ensure we deliver best value for money. As a non-departmental public body, Our engagement with suppliers is governed by public procurement regulations.
Our goal is to ensure we keep processes fair, transparent, and accessible, especially for SMEs and VCSEs.
CITB will trade under its own terms and conditions. Where we procure goods and services via an external framework, the terms and conditions of that framework will govern the resulting contract.
Our supplier code of conduct sets out the principles and behaviours we ask all suppliers to follow.
Register, stay up to date and respond to procurement opportunities.
All tender opportunities are advertised and managed through our electronic tendering portal: Delta E-Sourcing. This portal provides a secure, faster, fairer and efficient method for managing the tender process for both CITB and suppliers.
Since the Procurement Act 2023 came into effect on 24 February 2025, all above threshold opportunities are published on the Central Digital Platform (Find a tender service).
A short guide for suppliers for the Procurement Act 2023 is available here
To ensure that you do not miss any potential opportunities, it is essential that you register on both Delta and the Central Digital Platform.
SME/ VCSE supplier support
We are keen to hear from Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) and Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprises (VCSEs). Our intention is to have regular sessions to help ensure that all suppliers are able to compete for suitable opportunities. Please contact us with the completed spreadsheet provided below.
