Trades Top Tenders Covers

Top Tenders is built for all trades and small contractors across North East England. Each week we send one simple email packed with live tender opportunities covering construction, property, maintenance and compliance work.

The email is not trade-specific. It is designed to give you a broad view of what is out there, so you can quickly spot the jobs that match your skills, capacity and appetite to bid.

Built for busy tradespeople

Instead of hunting through portals, you get a weekly shortlist of opportunities and decide what is worth your time. It is a simple way to keep your pipeline topped up with public sector and larger buyer work.
