How to win their contracts

Measured from Coventry University's own published record — no estimates, no generic advice.

• Plan for about 30 days to prepare a bid — that is the median gap between publication and deadline across 29 of their tenders.
• They publish about 2.2 tenders a month, measured over 64 months of history.
• Half of their 31 awarded contracts are worth £380.3k or less — size your bid to that range.
• Most of their buying falls in software package and information systems, business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing, security, radio, television, communication, telecommunication and related equipment.
• Their most frequent suppliers are Salesforce (3), The Saville Group Limited (2), Optimizely (2) — expect to bid against incumbents who already know this buyer.
