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.

The South East is a high-volume, polycentric market: county councils (Kent, Hampshire, Surrey, Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire, East and West Sussex) run large highways, care and schools programmes, alongside dense district-council coverage, major universities (Oxford, Southampton), big NHS trusts and defence establishments around Portsmouth and Aldershot. County-run frameworks and shared procurement units (e.g. Hampshire's shared services) route significant spend.

How do I win Construction work contracts in South East 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. The counties operate their own well-organised e-sourcing portals (Kent Business Portal, In-Tend and ProContract instances) — register on each county you can serve, because sub-threshold work is invited through them without appearing on national portals. County DPS lists for transport, care and construction admit new suppliers on a rolling basis.
