Minor works and repairs
We look for official notices where the scope, buyer and deadline are clear enough to check quickly.
What TenderHawk watches
Public buyers already publish trades work. TenderHawk makes it easier to spot.
Repairs and maintenance opportunities appear across council, school, housing and estate notices. TenderHawk watches for minor works, voids, kitchens, bathrooms, roofing, external works and planned maintenance.

Questions
Common questions
Will TenderHawk push huge construction jobs at small firms?
No. The email makes clear when a job looks principal-contractor scale, and when it may still be useful for subcontracting conversations.
What makes a trades notice useful?
Named work type, sensible geography, lot structure, buyer route, deadline and a plain-English note on paperwork barriers.
