How to win their contracts

Measured from Bundesministerium für Forschung, Technologie und Raumfahrt's own published record — no estimates, no generic advice.

• Plan for about 38 days to prepare a bid — that is the median gap between publication and deadline across 15 of their tenders.
• They publish about 4.3 tenders a month, measured over 6 months of history.
• Half of their 40 awarded contracts are worth €3m or less — size your bid to that range.
• Most of their buying falls in research and development services and related consultancy services, business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing, security, office and computing machinery, equipment and supplies.
• Their most frequent suppliers are Forschungszentrum Jülich GmbH – Projektträger Jülich (4), VDI/VDE Innovation + Technik GmbH (4), Prognos AG (3) — expect to bid against incumbents who already know this buyer.
