04Plumbing and heating contracts: common questions
How many plumbing and heating tenders are live in the UK?
44 right now, from 40 public buyers, with 13 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 plumbing and heating contracts?
Where a minimum turnover is stated (1 of the 44 notices we have read), it is typically £600k. The insurance named most often is employer's liability. Most requirements sit in the tender documents rather than the notice, so check the pack before you bid.
Can a small business win plumbing and heating contracts?
Often, yes. 24 of the 44 live tenders in the UK are marked by the buyer as suitable for small businesses, and 5 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.
