What we find
The civils work
we’re following.
About three quarters of these jobs come from parish and town councils, with district councils and unitaries making up most of the rest.
Where a figure has been published, about four in ten are under £25,000. Some are small repairs and others are part of a much bigger scheme.

Straight answers
A few things
you might ask.
More in our general questions, or email
hello@beforetender.co.uk
Do you cover highways contracts?
Mostly not. These are smaller jobs on land that councils, churches and clubs look after, and they’re often bought on a few quotes.
Will a job show up if it’s only part of a project?
Yes. If a pavilion or sports ground scheme includes drainage or surfacing, it comes to you with that noted.
Can you keep it to my area?
Yes. Tell us where you work and how far you’ll travel, and we’ll keep to it.
