What are Civil Engineering Contracts?
When public sector bodies, such as local authorities and government organisations, require civil engineering works and services, they release civil engineering tenders. These contracts generally fall under the umbrella of the construction industry and include the planning, designing, and building of civil infrastructure like roads, waterways, harbours, bridges, public buildings, and sewage systems.
Civil engineering encompasses the following engineering branches or projects:
- Construction & management engineering
- Geotechnical engineering
- Structural engineering
- Transportation engineering
- Water engineering
- Environmental engineering
- Coastal engineering
- Earthquake engineering
- Forensic engineering
Civil engineering contracts cover a broad scope of works and services, resulting in contract values varying anywhere from tens of thousands of pounds to £1 billion and up. The different types of tenders in civil engineering can be divided into the following two broad categories or lots:
Minor Civils & Building Works
Minor works refer to small and relatively straightforward construction projects, generally covering new or repair and renovation work that is less than £500,000 in value. Works and services in this lot can include:
Vegetation clearance
Highway improvements
Drainage works
The provision and installation of street furniture
Flood alleviation and land drainage improvements
Hard landscaping, such as the construction of steps and ramps, playgrounds, and paved areas
Environmental improvements
Footpath and cycleway improvements
The construction of below- and above-ground structures (usually below 2m in height and over 1.2m in depth)
Major & Complex Works
This refers to large one-off projects that involve new builds, renovations and repairs with a value of over £500,000. Works and services in this lot include but are not limited to:
Public buildings like government housing
Infrastructure such as flood defences, roads, and coastal defences
Contamination remediation

Why Bid for Civil Engineering Tenders?
With the construction industry being one of the largest in the UK economy and the government spending millions on such projects every year, bidding for civil engineering tenders can be extremely beneficial for several reasons.
Winning tenders in the civil engineering sector is a guarantee of work for a fixed period of time. This ensures that you and your company will have a reliable stream of income for the duration of the project.
Bidding on and winning civil engineering contracts allows you to build relationships with the key stakeholders and decision-makers of local authorities and organisations within the civil engineering sector. These relationships can help you be one of the first to know about upcoming civil engineering tender notice opportunities in the future as well, allowing you to engage early.
Engaging in civil engineering bids also allows you to grow and diversify your portfolio, increasing the visibility of your company. This positions you as a trustworthy and credible supplier within the industry.

Finding Civil Engineering Contract Opportunities in the Public Sector
Civil engineering plays a crucial role in the construction sector, with new civil engineering tenders regularly being published. This opens the market up and creates new business opportunities for all suppliers who are looking to bid.
Civil Engineering Tenders in the UK
Public sector organisations in the United Kingdom will publish tenders in an effort to procure civil engineering services from a single contractor or to appoint several companies to a framework agreement.
Framework Agreements
Framework agreements (also known as procurement frameworks) are multi-supplier agreements that are often used for the procurement of civil engineering works and services. A framework agreement’s length can vary from a few months to several years and includes terms that will govern the contracts that may be awarded during the life cycle of the agreement.
Civil engineering framework agreements are divided into lots based on either geographical location, tender value, or specific works and services. This division allows suppliers to apply to be a part of a wider contract without being required to supply all areas. Each lot will have a different number of suppliers, and suppliers only have to apply for the lot or lots that they specialise in.
Examples of public sector buyers who could have framework agreements are Network Rail, Highways England, and Scape Group.
Single Supplier Contracts
Public sector organisations may also opt to award the contract for an upcoming project to a single supplier. Examples of how public buyers may seek to procure civil engineering services and work in this way include:
The Environment Agency could publish contract opportunities related to flood defence projects and other environmental engineering tasks.
Local authorities with regular civil engineering requirements may look to procure works and services related to road maintenance and new constructions.
The Ministry of Defence (MoD) may publish tenders seeking the construction or maintenance of military bases and training facilities.
Government-owned universities and institutions can publish a tender for civil engineering services to develop, expand, and maintain campuses and other related infrastructure.
