04Highways and civil engineering contracts: common questions
How many highways and civil engineering tenders are live in the East Midlands?
9 right now, from 8 public buyers, with 4 closing in the next 14 days. We bring together notices from Find a Tender and Contracts Finder and refresh this page every hour.
What do buyers ask for in highways and civil engineering contracts?
Few notices state a minimum turnover; it is usually set out in the tender documents. Most requirements sit in the tender documents rather than the notice, so check the pack before you bid.
Can a small business win highways and civil engineering contracts?
Often, yes. 4 of the 9 live tenders in the East Midlands are marked by the buyer as suitable for small businesses, and 4 are frameworks or dynamic purchasing systems (approved supplier lists that buyers then order from). Smaller lots and lower-value contracts are usually the best place to start. Check the minimum turnover and insurance first, as those are the checks that rule most bids out.
05Expert notes: Construction & trades
Public construction work often runs through frameworks and minimum standards such as Constructionline or CHAS, and SSIP accreditation for health and safety. Larger contracts usually set a minimum turnover; smaller lots and Contracts Finder notices are where SMEs get started.
