You find a £400,000 council scaffolding and electrical contract. Perfect work. Your region. But the tender requires £500k minimum annual turnover, three trade disciplines, and a combined workforce of 20+. You're out before you start.
Contracts require minimum turnover you don't have alone — but easily meet as a group.
Buyers want scaffolding, electrical and groundworks from one bid. Not three separate ones.
Larger contracts need a minimum verified headcount. Individually you fall short. Together you don't.
A consortium of 4 verified Complys trades can meet every one of those requirements — and Complys generates the joint bid response automatically.
Create a permanent group with other verified Complys trades. Scaffolder, electrician, groundworker — whoever the contract needs. Each member pays £25/mo. You become the Lead.
Search live UK contracts across Contracts Finder, Find a Tender Service and Public Contracts Scotland. Filter by region, trade, and value. Your combined turnover and workforce now qualifies you for contracts none of you could bid for alone.
Each consortium member confirms they're in for this specific bid. No commitment to every tender — just the ones that make sense for each company.
Complys pulls the verified compliance profiles, insurance documents, accreditations, compliance scores and worker counts from every member company and generates a professional joint tender response letter.
Your submission shows a multi-trade consortium with verified compliance scores, combined workforce and proven documentation. Exactly what large contracting authorities want to see.
Services like Tracker Intelligence charge £300–£800/mo to show you the same tenders that are free on Contracts Finder. That's useful for large bid teams — but it doesn't solve the problem trades actually have.

The difference is this: a tender platform tells you a £400k contract exists. Complys helps you actually qualify for it, form the right group, and submit a credible joint bid.
Before you even bid, every consortium member can see each other's compliance score. You know exactly who you're partnering with — no surprises when the buyer asks for evidence.
Tracker Intelligence is built for corporate bid teams. Complys is built for scaffolders, electricians, groundworkers and roofers who want to win public contracts without a dedicated bid writer.
Your CHAS accreditation, public liability insurance, worker passports and compliance score are already in Complys. The AI tender response pulls from all of it — you're not starting from a blank page.
A single consortium contract win worth £250,000 costs you £25/mo to access. No tender platform charges a percentage of wins — but none of them help you actually win either.
Your consortium is permanent — build long-term relationships with other compliant trades. Members confirm individually for each tender. No pressure to bid on everything.
Every consortium member must be on Complys Pro or above, which means they've uploaded their compliance documents, have a verified profile and are actively maintaining their score. You're not partnering with an unknown.
A consortium of 4 companies. Each on Growth at £50/mo plus £25/mo consortium fee. Total cost per company: £75/mo. Together you can bid for contracts up to £2 million.
One contract win worth £250,000 generates a return of 278× your annual consortium cost.
No tender platform charges a percentage of wins — but none of them help you actually win either.
Form a consortium with your regular subcontractors. When a large framework comes up, you already have a verified group ready to bid together.
Electricians who keep losing to multi-trade contractors. Scaffolders who can't meet turnover thresholds. Groundworkers who need a roofing partner.
Trades who already know each other locally and want to formalise their collaboration to go after council maintenance frameworks together.
If you run a facilities management or maintenance operation, a consortium with verified sub-trades gives you the depth to bid for larger managed contracts.
Most consortium opportunities sit between £100,000 and £2,000,000. Below that, a single company usually qualifies. Above £2m, you're typically competing against national contractors. The sweet spot — framework lots, multi-trade council contracts, NHS maintenance works — is exactly where a consortium of 3–5 verified trades can win.
You need the Growth plan (£50/mo) to create a consortium. Members need Pro plan (£30/mo) minimum to join. The consortium fee is £25/mo per consortium per member — billed individually to each company.
They simply don't participate in that bid. They remain in the consortium for future tenders. The lead can proceed with the members who have confirmed, or choose to remove a member permanently if needed.
Contracts Finder shows you what's available. Complys shows you what you can actually win — and then helps you win it. Finding a tender is 5% of the work. Proving you're compliant, forming the right group, and submitting a credible response is the other 95%.
Yes. You pay £25/mo per consortium you're in. A scaffolding company might be in a South West construction consortium and a housing maintenance consortium simultaneously — two different groups, two different types of contract.
Other members can see your compliance score and verified badge status. Full document details are not shared — only the summary information needed to assess the group's combined capability.
Start with a free Complys account. Upgrade to Growth to create your first consortium. Your first tender could be worth more than your entire monthly cost in a single afternoon.
