Below-threshold contracts: our differentiator
Nearly 40% of Belgian public spending is awarded below the mandatory publication thresholds. Discover our coverage of unpublished contracts and take a decisive edge over your competitors.
Civil engineering, structures, building services, energy, environment: detect every design assignment before your competitors with GPC Gov.
They win public contracts with GPC Gov
Municipalities, inter-municipal companies, hospitals, housing associations and regional administrations rely on consultancy firms for design, structural work, building services and site supervision. Over the past twelve months more than 7,000 engineering contracts were published in Belgium, issued by almost 1,900 different contracting authorities.
These assignments are rarely won on price alone: references, team composition and methodology weigh heavily in the award. Being alerted as soon as a notice appears leaves time to assemble the temporary consortium a multidisciplinary specification demands.

I am worth €80,000. I am looking for an engineering consultancy 30 km from here. And I will not be sent to anyone: companies have to come and find me.
For 6 days, nobody reads me.

See which firms win which assignments, from which authority, and how often.
Engineering assignments below the thresholds never reach the official platforms. GPC Gov surfaces them anyway.
The sector is made of many small assignments spread across a large number of buyers: almost 1,900 different contracting authorities over twelve months. No manual watch keeps that pace, and the official platforms show only part of the market.
GPC Gov monitors all of these sources, including contracts with no publication requirement, and alerts you only on the CPV codes matching your disciplines. You read nothing but what concerns you.

Over the past twelve months, 7,264 contracts carrying an engineering or technical consultancy CPV code were published in Belgium, issued by 1,916 distinct contracting authorities. It is the country's largest volume of intellectual services, ahead of management consultancy and communication.
Municipalities and their technical departments first, then inter-municipal works companies, social housing associations, hospitals, regional administrations and universities. Dispersion is high: 1,916 buyers for 7,264 contracts, an average of fewer than four contracts per buyer per year.
The 713xx codes cover most of it: 71310 for engineering and construction consultancy, 71311 for civil engineering, 71313 for environmental engineering, 71314 for energy, 71317 for risk protection and control, 71351 for geological surveying. The 7132x and 7133x codes complete the picture for technical design.
Rarely. Specifications combining structural work, building services, energy performance and safety coordination call in practice for a temporary consortium or declared subcontracting. That is why the gap between publication and submission matters: assembling a consortium takes longer than writing a bid alone.
14% of Belgian engineering contracts over the past twelve months carry no notice on TED, e-Notification or e-Tendering. These are mostly below-threshold assignments awarded after a restricted consultation of a few firms — the ones you only win by already being on the list.
