Key findings

  • Market sentiment: The construction sector is currently in a 'wait-and-see' mode, with cautious optimism about future growth. However, there are concerns about government policy and its impact on the sector
  • Price predictions: Suppliers predict a 3.7% rise in prices for 2025. It's crucial to lock in suppliers now to avoid higher costs later.
  • Supplier relationships: Strong relationships with suppliers are essential. Only 13.6% of contractors meet their public sector customers face-to-face, despite 86% wanting to. Improving these relationships can lead to better contract delivery.
  • Skills shortage: The construction industry continues to face a skills shortage, which could become more pronounced as demand increases.

Advice for public sector organisations

  • Lock in suppliers early: With prices expected to rise, securing contracts now can save costs in the long run.
  • Enhance supplier relationships: Increase face-to-face meetings with suppliers to build stronger, more collaborative relationships.
  • Focus on long-term value: Shift from short-term cost-cutting to creating long-term value through sustainable partnerships..
