Central Government recently announced that every £3 spent on government contracts £1 should go to small and medium sized contractors. They now want this extended to the public sector before 2020. That’s well over £70bn in new business for firms like yours every year.
Many small and medium sized contractors look on with envy at how larger companies always seem to be on the invitation list for these Public sector projects. They can understand the multi-million £ contracts being awarded but it seems unfair when they also pick up the smaller contracts as well. However in a lot of cases a local smaller contractor will offer a much better and indeed a more cost-effective service.
Public sector tenders are widely advertised and are freely open to any organisation who has the ability to carry out the work, whatever their size. That said there are over 6,000 UK Public sector bodies and Organisations that publish well over 70,000 tenders every year on more than 2,200 online portals. This is where the larger National contractors have an advantage over smaller contractors because they have the resources to source these opportunities. Smaller busy contractors simply just don’t have the time or resources available to them.
A number of online companies have inevitably shot up in recent years that will scour these many websites electronically and send email alerts when they become available. However many contractors complain about these unfiltered and at times unsuitable emails that increasingly fill their inboxes. The biggest complaint however is the high cost and long term commitment of these subscription services. A typical 12 month subscription could cost as much as £800!
TenderTracker is a new service from Sellective that specialises in finding the right tender for building services contractors, however large or small, in the South East. This no nonsense approach helps you find suitable contracts with no subscription and no hidden fees. We offer this service free of charge as an introduction to Sellective and include this within all of our sales packages.
Our team of researchers scour the relevant sites every week looking for the right contract for you. Each tender is manually checked and double-checked to ensure that you are getting only the most relevant projects to suit your business.
We check both OJEU and non-OJEU contracts in other words we have access to central government, local government, councils, public bodies, NHS, charities, blue lights, MOD and even the Nuclear industry. If the tender is out there, we’ll find it for you.
We keep things as simple as possible so as soon as you send us an email registering an interest we will ask you a few simple questions to help us focus our searches. Our introductory agreement is for 8 weeks and we will begin sending you alerts as soon as we find them.
