Why should I subscribe to the CIS Report Service?
The CIS Report provides literally billions of Euro worth of researched contract and supply opportunities each week. The Report can also help you to identify the more attractive and profitable projects allowing your company to take full advantage of the economic climate and plan ahead effectively. The Report also gives you good competitive intelligence as it lists the names of companies that have been awarded a wide range of contracts.
What makes the CIS Report different?
The CIS Report has 'The Researched Edge' which is achieved because we employ highly experienced researchers who have an in-dept knowledge of the key industry sectors they are responsible for. The information in the Report is gathered from a variety of sources and each project is monitored and researched until all major contracts and sub-contracts have been awarded. This allows you the opportunity to contact the Specifiers and/or Purchasers at the right time for your product or service.
When and who should we contact?
Each project appears in the Report a number of times throughout its development. Projects will appear in the Report when something important is happening with them. This enables you to plan the timing of your approach to those who specify or purchase your product or service.
Why should I receive all sections of the Report?
There are a number of reasons why it is important to receive all sections of the Report. For example, there has been a growing trend within the industry for the construction of Mixed Developments. This can lead to projects that would be relevant to you as a customer, not being in the section where you would initially search. A mixed development, for instance may appear in the commercial section because the main element may be Offices, however, it may also include Residential, Retail or Medical Units. Receiving all sections of the Report also allows you to keep an eye on what is happening throughout the construction industry as a whole.
