How to win their contracts

Measured from Koninklijke Nederlandse Akademie van Wetenschappen's own published record — no estimates, no generic advice.

• Plan for about 56 days to prepare a bid — that is the median gap between publication and deadline across 29 of their tenders.
• They publish about 0.5 tenders a month, measured over 63 months of history.
• Half of their 41 awarded contracts are worth €450k or less — size your bid to that range.
• Most of their buying falls in sewage, refuse, cleaning and environmental services, business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing, security, office and computing machinery, equipment and supplies.
• Their most frequent suppliers are Nikon Europe B.V. (2), Prospective Instruments LK OG (2), Carl Zeiss B.V. (2) — expect to bid against incumbents who already know this buyer.
