Concept Engineering Consultants Ltd is an SME with a staff of just 106.

We provide geotechnical ground investigation services, and despite this being our 25th year of operations, over 90% of our turnover has always been generated in London and the South East region of England.

We use CompeteFor in our pre construction activities to seek out opportunities to bid, track tenders and gather market intelligence.

Using CompeteFor has so far led to Concept being awarded 2 major ground investigation contracts as part of the HS2 scheme.

These awards have enabled growth and expansion of Concept, both in terms of geography and turnover, spring boarding our operations out of London and the South East into the Midlands and North of England.

Littlewood Fencing is an SME fencing company established in 1996.

Compete For has been a valuable tool in our tendering process. The platform is easy to navigate, and the alert emails are always regular, informative, and relevant. We have used this frequently over the last ten years and have been impressed with the diversity and volume of opportunities that are available to us.

Being awarded HS2 opportunities through Compete For has had a huge positive impact on our business. It has meant we have been able to expand to offer national coverage with offices in Battle, Birmingham and Wales.

Due to this expansion, we recruit locally and give back to the communities in which we operate. We have maintained excellent working relationships with HS2 and other supporting clients such as Mace, Skanska and Costain.

We have built upon our reputation in the construction industry, developed a more sustainable supply chain and further improved our working practices as a direct result of winning this prestigious contract
