How to win their contracts

Measured from Highways England's own published record — no estimates, no generic advice.

Plan for about 35 days to prepare a bid — that is the median gap between publication and deadline across 14 of their tenders.
They publish about 2.8 tenders a month, measured over 23 months of history.
Half of their 26 awarded contracts are worth £28.9m or less — size your bid to that range.
Most of their buying falls in architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services, construction work, business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing, security.
Their most frequent suppliers are Ingrebourne Valley Limited (2) — expect to bid against incumbents who already know this buyer.
