The charting below of tender price movements across the UK summarises local markets in the context of the wider national picture. Whereas elsewhere in this report, we show and discuss national statistical data to depict the wider reality of the national economy, this local tender price change analysis is very specific to and representative of the particularities of local markets.

In some locations, a sector may be highly active, whereas in others that sector may be quiet, but the relative ‘busyness’ of the overall construction market is reflected by tender price movements and, in turn, by general activity levels of able contractors in the region.
