Below-threshold contracts: our differentiator

Concrete, road materials, prefabricated units, joinery, containers: detect every supply contract before your competitors with GPC Gov.
They win public contracts with GPC Gov
Public authorities do not only buy building works: they also buy the materials directly, for their own technical departments. Over the past twelve months nearly 3,650 materials supply contracts were published in Belgium, by more than 1,150 contracting authorities.
It is a market that merchants and manufacturers never see, because they watch works contracts — where they act only as the contractor's supplier. Supply contracts, by contrast, are handled directly with the authority, with no main contractor in between.

I am worth €50,000. I am looking for a builders' merchant 30 km from here. And I will not be sent to anyone: companies have to come and find me.

A materials order rarely exceeds the publication thresholds. GPC Gov surfaces them anyway.
CPV division 44 — construction materials and structures — is one of the most active parts of the Belgian market and one of the least watched: merchants follow works contracts, where they are only the contractor's supplier, and miss the contracts where the authority buys direct.
GPC Gov filters precisely on those supply codes, including consultations with no publication requirement, and delivers every morning what your competitors are not looking at.

3,714 contracts carrying a CPV code from division 44 over the past twelve months, issued by 1,157 contracting authorities. These are supply contracts, distinct from works contracts: the authority buys the material and installs it itself.
Because they watch works contracts, in CPV division 45, where they act only as the main contractor's supplier. Division 44 contracts are awarded directly by the authority to its supplier, with no contractor in between — and no division 44 code overlaps with the works pages.
44111 for building materials, 44113 for road construction materials, 44114 for concrete, 44115 for building infrastructure, 44211 for prefabricated buildings, 44613 for large containers. The division also covers joinery, hardware, tools and paints.
Municipal technical departments first, then social housing associations for their maintenance works, inter-municipal companies, regional road services, schools and hospitals. Framework agreements are common: the municipality supplies itself all year through a contract awarded once.
23% of materials contracts over the past twelve months carry no official notice. That is consistent with their size: an order of aggregates or kerbstones rarely exceeds the thresholds, leaving it invisible to anyone watching only TED and e-Notification.
