Building Construction — Public Procurement
Building construction (Hochbau) is one of the largest segments of public procurement in Germany and the EU. Public contracting authorities regularly tender projects for new buildings, extensions and refurbishments — from administrative buildings through schools to residential complexes. Procurement follows the rules of VOB/A and, once thresholds are reached, the EU procurement directives.
Typical tenders in the building construction sector
- New build of an administrative building with underground car park
- Extension to a primary school including shell and fit-out works
- Comprehensive refurbishment of a listed town hall
- Construction of a multi-purpose hall for sport and events
- Turnkey delivery of a residential building in social housing
- Shell works for a municipal community centre

Challenges in tender discovery
Building construction tenders are published on numerous platforms — from municipal procurement portals through state-level platforms to TED (Tenders Electronic Daily) for EU-wide procedures. The lot structure is often complex: a single construction project can be divided into dozens of trade lots (shell, roof, façade, fit-out), and relevant lots are not always immediately apparent.
In addition, labels vary considerably. The same service may be tendered as "shell works", "masonry works", "concrete works" or "building construction works". Without an intelligent search strategy, relevant tenders are easily lost.
