How to win their contracts

Measured from National Development Finance Agency's own published record — no estimates, no generic advice.

• Plan for about 42 days to prepare a bid — that is the median gap between publication and deadline across 13 of their tenders.
• They publish about 0.2 tenders a month, measured over 80 months of history.
• Half of their 6 awarded contracts are worth €4.3m or less — size your bid to that range.
• Most of their buying falls in construction work, architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services.
• Their most frequent suppliers are Higher Education PPP Bundle 2 Limited, a company registered in Ireland (2) — expect to bid against incumbents who already know this buyer.
