How to win their contracts

Measured from Kildare and Wicklow Education and Training Board's own published record — no estimates, no generic advice.

• Plan for about 31 days to prepare a bid — that is the median gap between publication and deadline across 15 of their tenders.
• They publish about 1.2 tenders a month, measured over 58 months of history.
• Half of their 37 awarded contracts are worth €240k or less — size your bid to that range.
• Most of their buying falls in architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services, software package and information systems, hotel, restaurant and retail trade services.
• Their most frequent suppliers are GET FRESH CATERING LTD (3), Rafters Cafe School Food Company (2), Glenlow Construction Ltd. T/A Nolan Construction (2) — expect to bid against incumbents who already know this buyer.
