Description

The Panel will cover four waves of research (one per year over four years from 2025 to 2028) comprising 30 tele-depth interviews and 1,500 quantitative telephone interviews across GB. As a rolling project it is envisaged that consultation via the Panel will occur roughly every12 months depending on the necessity to consult. However, we request the prospective suppliers consider provision to accommodate changes to this timetable (if requested by CITB). Flexibility in the delivery of the Panel is paramount. The anticipated fieldwork dates (main stage quantitative) for the next four waves of Panel research are (month of fieldwork): •Wave 25: June 2025 •Wave 26: April 2026 •Wave 27: May 2027 •Wave 28: June 2028 The Quarterly Dip Survey comprising 100 telephone interviews will continue to follow calendar quarters from Q1 2025 to Q4 2028. The pattern of operation to date has been for the questionnaire to be developed during the second month of the quarter, with fieldwork following in the third month of the quarter, and results being available two weeks after the quarter end. Both the Panel and the Dip will cover Construction Contracting and Building Professional Services firms.

Total Quantity or Scope

This Panel and the Dip have been a major step in achieving and maintaining the robust evidence base across a number of issues that is required to a develop better understanding of the attitudes and practices of construction employers. It is anticipated that the Panel and Quarterly Dip combined will continue to fulfil that purpose. An overriding aim of this research remains to gain greater insight into the types and sources of learning and training used by employers, and their attitudes and motivations towards learning and training. This project will continue to play a crucial role in informing policy planning by CITB and its partners. The results will also support the delivery of CITB’s strategies and its 3-year Strategic Plan. As with the previous Panels and Quarterly Dips, this programme of research will help inform the further development of policy decisions, funding strategies, qualifications development and corporate communications to ensure that the needs of industry are understood and that CITB’s activities remain relevant to the sector. The results will also be used to support discussions with Government Departments, Local Skills Improvement Plans (LSIPs), Local Authorities, and funding bodies to invest in training and skills development for this sector.
