04Plumbing and heating contracts: common questions
How many plumbing and heating tenders are live in Scotland?
7 right now, from 7 public buyers, with 2 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 7 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. 3 of the 7 live tenders in Scotland are marked by the buyer as suitable for small businesses, and 2 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.
