HEART ACADEMIES TRUST

How to win their contracts

Measured from HEART ACADEMIES TRUST's own published record — no estimates, no generic advice.

• Plan for about 40 days to prepare a bid — that is the median gap between publication and deadline across 9 of their tenders.
• They publish about 0.8 tenders a month, measured over 38 months of history.
• Half of their 12 awarded contracts are worth £35.5m or less — size your bid to that range.
• Most of their buying falls in business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing, security, office and computing machinery, equipment and supplies, petroleum products, fuel, electricity and other sources of energy.
• Their most frequent suppliers are WCL (UK) LIMITED (3), CHOICE TEACHERS (SOUTH) LTD, TEACHING TOMORROW LTD, TRADEWIND RECRUITMENT LTD (2) — expect to bid against incumbents who already know this buyer.
