Steel structure and bridge tenders in the Nordics and Germany
For steel fabricators and erectors, the order often comes not from the public buyer but from the main contractor that won the tender. MarketScope tracks bridge, industrial building and structural steel tenders in Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Germany and the Baltics and shows who won, so you can offer fabrication or erection in time.
What we monitor
A bridge or factory tender is usually won by a main contractor, who then buys steel fabrication and erection separately. For a steel company the key information is therefore not only the tender itself but the winner and the window between contract signature and start of works, when the contractor is choosing subcontractors.
Structural steel
Structural products and parts (CPV 44212), assembly of metal structures (452231), structural steelworks (45223210) and steel erection (45262400).
Bridges and infrastructure
Bridge construction (CPV 452211) and infrastructure projects from road and rail authorities: Statens vegvesen, Nye Veier, Bane NOR, Trafikverket, Väylävirasto, Vejdirektoratet, Via Lietuva, LTG Infra, DEGES and Die Autobahn.
Industrial buildings
Construction of factories, warehouses and commercial buildings (CPV 4521325), where the steel frame is usually bought as a separate subcontract.
Contractors and the steel market
Skanska, NCC, Peab, Veidekke, AF Gruppen, YIT, Strabag and other main contractors are tracked as potential customers, while steel price and competitor news (Ruukki, Peikko, Normek and others) shows where the market is heading.
The ready-made steel structures pack
The pack follows TED contract notices, prior information notices and award notices in eight countries, Doffin tenders and results, Hilma tenders, plans and awards, and oeffentlichevergabe.de notices. For news it uses 13 sources: Stålbyggnadsinstitutet, Byggindustrin, Rakennuslehti, Teknisk Ukeblad, Verslo žinios and Google News queries on bridges, steel structures and construction contracts in six languages.
Six rules pick out steel and metal structures, bridges and infrastructure, industrial buildings, warehouses and factories, winning contractors and subcontracting leads, steel prices and competitor news. Scoring reads the CPV code to separate bridges, steel erection and industrial buildings, ranks Norway and Sweden highest and gives more points to larger contracts.

How does the pack help with subcontracting work?
Bridges and industrial buildings are usually won by main contractors. The pack shows who won, with their number of wins and register data, so you can offer fabrication or erection while the contractor is still building its supply chain.
Are road and rail authorities tracked?
Yes. Statens vegvesen, Nye Veier, Bane NOR, Trafikverket, Väylävirasto, Vejdirektoratet, Via Lietuva, LTG Infra, DEGES and Die Autobahn are in the company radar as buyers.
