What does CPV code 45000000 cover?

Division 45 is construction work — the largest CPV division by value in UK public procurement. It spans new build, refurbishment, civil engineering, highways, demolition and specialist trades (roofing, M&E installation, scaffolding) across codes 45100000–45500000.

How do I win Construction work contracts in East of England?

Get positioned on the frameworks and DPS lists your target clients actually use (check their previous awards to see which), because mid-value works rarely reach the open market. Bids are scored on social value (typically 10–20%), site-specific methodology and programme credibility rather than lowest price; for sub-£500k lots, local SMEs genuinely win if they evidence relevant completed jobs with referee contacts, CHAS/Constructionline accreditation and realistic prelims. Essex County Council's frameworks and Hertfordshire's shared arrangements are used well beyond their borders — a place on them travels. The Eastern region makes heavy use of In-Tend and ProContract portals; research-linked buying around Cambridge (labs, scientific equipment, specialist construction) is a distinct sub-market worth separate alerts.
