Welcome to your very first weekly shortlist of live, trade-fit opportunities across the North East for 2026.
This isn’t a random dump of portal links. It’s the stuff that’s actually worth a look if you’re on the tools, running a small firm, or juggling a few teams and need work you can price properly.
Some of this week’s handpicked highlights:
Big repeat-work frameworks where getting on the list now means call-offs later (think groundworks/civils in Newcastle, external building works in Durham, and a roofing framework that could keep you busy across multiple sites)
Proper local contracts with sensible deadlines, including grounds maintenance for housing stock, lift servicing and maintenance, and commercial catering and refrigeration repairs for a council setup
Specialist compliance work like fire door install and repairs (high value, clear requirements) plus manned guarding for a university estate if you’re in security
So whether you’re sparky, joiner, roofer, brickie, plasterer, grounds crew, lift engineer, FM, security, civils, general building, fire protection, refrigeration or a bit of everything, there should be at least one that fits your lane.
No waffle. Just the opportunities, what they want, and what to say so you can decide fast and move.
If you only click one this week, make it #1.
See you next week,
— Andrew
