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.
Scotland runs its own procurement regime: the Procurement Reform (Scotland) Act rather than the Procurement Act 2023, with all public notices published on Public Contracts Scotland (PCS). Thirty-two councils, NHS Scotland boards, Scottish Government directorates and agencies like Scottish Procurement and Scotland Excel (the councils' centre of expertise) structure the market, with national frameworks covering many common categories.
Notices are aggregated from Contracts Finder, Find a Tender, the devolved-nation portals and 400+ council procurement sites, then summarised in plain English. Suppliers working in Scotland use the chart below to gauge how active this category is month-to-month, and the list to find live opportunities to bid on.

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 Scotland?
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. Register on Public Contracts Scotland and PCS-Tender — nothing Scottish reaches English portals reliably. Scottish policy emphasises community benefits (their social-value equivalent), fair work practices (real Living Wage, no inappropriate zero-hours) and SME access through lotting; Scotland Excel frameworks are the route into council goods and care markets, and Quick Quotes on PCS distribute sub-threshold work to registered suppliers only.
