A big help for small contractors

The fact is, the public sector isn’t just about large construction projects or specialized engineering contracts for the big players. Government, local authorities and other public organisations are actively committed to inviting construction tenders from small and medium sized businesses. Indeed, over half our existing suppliers have a turnover of £5m or less, and our buyers are still asking for more!

How do you get started in the public sector?

1. Contact your local authority or check their website to find out how they select suppliers, and give them your Constructionline registration number

2. Apart from our own website, also check your local paper and tender notice boards for the latest opportunities

3. Find out about ‘meet the buyer’ events in your area - keep an eye on our website for details of these

4. Keep up to date with the latest public sector procurement and construction legislation at www.ogc.gov.uk.
