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. 7 of the 11 live tenders in Yorkshire and the Humber are marked by the buyer as suitable for small businesses, and 1 is a framework or dynamic purchasing system (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.
