Specialist Legal Support for ECW Pre-Transfer Planning

Enterprise Cheshire and Warrington (ECW) is a company limited by guarantee wholly owned by the three unitary authorities in Cheshire and Warrington. It was formerly the Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) for the area and brought across its staff, funding role and assets when it transferred to LA ownership in 2024. Cheshire and Warrington is part of the Government's devolution priority programme and will be creating a Combined Authority for the sub-region in Spring 2026. The Combined Authority will take on responsibility for the strategic economic development of Cheshire and Warrington, a role formerly undertaken by the LEP and, more recently, ECW. With the establishment of a new Combined Authority (CA), it is anticipated that some or all functions currently delivered by ECW and CWTB may transfer either to one or more of the sub-region's local authorities, to the CA or to another body. No final decisions have yet been made, and the scope, scale, and nature of any transfer remain under active consideration. The company is seeking to appoint a provider of specialist legal advice to help with those discussions, supporting pre-transfer planning and due diligence on the potential transfer of some or all of ECW's functions, assets, and responsibilities. This support will be commissioned through a retainer and call-off contract. The appointed provider must be able to advise across a broad spectrum of organisational, corporate, public law, employment, and commercial matters, and respond quickly as the transfer landscape becomes clearer.

Evaluation of the Skills Bootcamps Programme

Enterprise Cheshire and Warrington (ECW), a council-owned organisation, works alongside elected leaders to make the region the healthiest, most sustainable, inclusive, and growing place in the country. We collaborate with the three local councils, industry leaders, and community partners to shape economic and transport strategies, deliver skills and employment training and business support, and ensure that the voice of business is heard in local decision-making. Through its Marketing Cheshire division, ECW also champions the region as an outstanding place to live, work, invest, study, and visit. ECW seeks to appoint an experienced and independent evaluation provider to deliver a focused and practical assessment of the Skills Bootcamps Programme. The purpose of this evaluation is to provide a clear understanding of the quality, effectiveness, and overall impact of the programme across the region, capturing the perspectives of learners, employers, training providers, and other key stakeholders. The findings will support ECW in strengthening future delivery models and ensuring that the Skills Bootcamps continue to meet the needs of both learners and employers. The evaluation will assess the effectiveness of programme delivery and the extent to which it has achieved its intended outcomes. It will examine the experiences of training providers, learners and employers as well as local partners. The evaluation will review initial engagement and onboarding through to the completion of delivery, assessing how effectively ECW's support mechanisms have functioned. The evaluator will consider the level of alignment between the design of bootcamps and employer needs, the quality and consistency of delivery, and the barriers that providers may have faced in achieving successful outcomes. The review should also capture evidence of good practice and lessons learned that can inform future programme design.

ECITB ACE Card Production and Digital Environment

The ECITB wishes to appoint a provider to fulfil its requirement for ACE card production and accompanying digital system. The Assuring Competence in Engineering (ACE) scheme is operated by ECITB to assure that workers in engineering construction hold the appropriate training, qualifications and competence to work safely and effectively. The ACE card is a key tool used across the industry to evidence this competence and supports ECITB's wider strategy of raising standards, improving workforce mobility and enabling safe and efficient project delivery. The ACE card function sits within ECITB's quality-assurance and standards activity. It underpins the industry's ability to verify skills quickly and reliably, whether on site or through employer checks, and is a critical part of maintaining confidence in the engineering-construction workforce. The scheme is currently undergoing a major programme of reform to modernise processes, strengthen governance and improve the user experience. This contract therefore requires a supplier to deliver not only secure card production and distribution but also a Smart compliant card-issuing and data-management system that keeps ACE aligned with The Construction Skills Certification Scheme (CSCS) requirements and future standards. The current annual volumes for ACE cards are c. 2500 cards. The contract will run for an initial period of two (2) years, from April 2026 (post implementation), with the option to extend for up to two (2) additional one-year periods (2 + 1 + 1) under the ECITB Service Provision Agreement, shared as part of the procurement pack. **Tenderers should register their interest in this opportunity via [email protected] after download of the documents from Find a Tender Service, to ensure they are included within the clarification process. The ECITB does not use an e-procurement system and therefore ALL correspondence must be via the email address stated. Please quote reference: P2510-3 ACE Cards. *** About the ECITB The 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. Thank you for your interest in the ECITB.
