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. The insurance named most often is public liability. 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. 6 of the 12 live tenders in the East of England are marked by the buyer as suitable for small businesses. 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.

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.
