Opportunities to Win More Construction Tenders
The construction industry undoubtedly boasts one of the largest economies of any business sector in the UK. It contributed £124 billion to the UK economy in 2021, representing fully 6% of total economic output. There were more than 2.3 million jobs in construction as of 2021, equating to 6% of all jobs in the UK.
According to a publication recently released by the House of Commons Library, there are more jobs in construction now than at any time since 2007 and the ensuing financial crisis, showing an encouraging, constantly growing market for both new and existing suppliers looking to win construction tenders.

The Government’s Construction 2025 Strategy
In 2013, the UK Government published an industrial strategy to support job creation and economic growth. As part of the plan, the Government outlined how it is bridging partnerships with key, influential sectors, with significant emphasis on the construction sector.
The report also set four targets:
Lower costs – 33% reduction in the initial cost of construction and the whole-life cost of built assets.
Faster delivery – 50% reduction in the overall time, from inception to completion, for new build and refurbished assets.
Lower emissions – 50% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions in the built environment.
Improvement in exports – 50% reduction in the trade gap between total exports and total imports for construction products and materials.
These targets are ambitious in light of current challenges; however, they also set an agenda that is entirely focused on the construction industry. Implementing productive changes means greater expansion opportunities (i.e. construction tender opportunities) for suppliers to capitalise on.
Key Areas of Growth in the Construction Sector
In the coming years, construction tenders in private residential housing and major infrastructure projects alike are expected to rise. The roll-out of High Speed Rail 2 (HS2) joining London with the Midlands and North of England marks one of the most ambitious construction projects in decades. In 2019, it was estimated that the HS2 project would cost between £53–71 billion, with the projected completion year being 2041 (not including the HS2 East development).
A report published in 2018 forecasts that a massive £600 billion of private and public investment is expected to fund infrastructure development over the next 10 years, driving innovation and sustainability at the heart of the construction industry and generating thousands more jobs.

How to Prepare Bids & Tender Documents in Construction
In contrast with some other industries, construction has an unusually high self-employment rate. 19% of construction workers registered as self-employed in early 2022 in the United Kingdom, compared to a 13% average for the whole economy. This means there is likely to be a distinct lack of procurement knowledge within the sector.
Tracker is here to make up that knowledge gap, providing the support and tools contractors and organisations of all sizes and experience require to grow their business.
Tools like Spend Analysis help suppliers identify buyer spend patterns, including what contracting authorities are buying and from whom. Archive Data works in a similar way, offering five or more years of historical data on buyers and tenders, as well as identifying new competitors in the market to propel your procurement forward.
By combining huge volumes of data with business analysis tools such as Market Intelligence, which provides you with market updates from the most comprehensive and reliable construction business sources available, Tracker is able to strategically align your procurement methods with current market activity.
Organisations can make informed decisions about their procurement strategy using analysis from rich data, effectively setting them apart from their competitors.
