How to use these listings

Browse subcontract work packages from contractors alongside construction-related public procurement notices. Contractor submissions are reviewed before publication. Use the source filters, then check the scope, location, deadline and eligibility before responding. A public notice may cover a whole contract rather than a subcontract package.

How to assess construction opportunities

First, read the description and identify the work package. Check the location, closing date and route for responding. Then review any linked documents to understand what the buyer needs. A short listing may leave questions about quantities, design responsibilities, access or the programme.

Before preparing a price, compare the work with your team’s skills and availability. Ask the named contact to clarify missing information. Also check any insurance, experience or other eligibility requirements in the enquiry. Keep a record of the documents and revisions used for your quotation.

Prepare a clear response

Set out what your price covers, the information you have used and any assumptions. Show exclusions clearly so the recipient can compare quotations on the same basis. Next, check how and when the response must be submitted. Allow time for questions before the stated deadline.

Our free working templates can help organise the enquiry and your pricing records. For a tender that needs measurement or a detailed commercial review, discuss bespoke estimating support.

Share work or receive tender leads

If you have work to advertise, submit the details for review. For notifications based on your trade and work area, use the tender notification service. Always read the original opportunity and its requirements; a listing is a lead to assess.
