04Construction contracts: common questions

How many construction tenders are live in the West Midlands?

49 right now, from 43 public buyers, with 21 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 construction 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 construction contracts?

Often, yes. 34 of the 49 live tenders in the West Midlands are marked by the buyer as suitable for small businesses, and 9 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.
