How to win their contracts

Measured from National Oceanography Centre's own published record — no estimates, no generic advice.

• Plan for about 32 days to prepare a bid — that is the median gap between publication and deadline across 5 of their tenders.
• They publish about 1.3 tenders a month, measured over 67 months of history.
• Half of the tenders where they publish a value are estimated at £81.1k or less.
• Most of their buying falls in laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses), construction work, petroleum products, fuel, electricity and other sources of energy.
• Their most frequent suppliers are STANDARD FUEL OILS LIMITED (5), Saderet Limited (4), Teledyne Instruments Inc. d/b/a Teledyne Webb Research (4) — expect to bid against incumbents who already know this buyer.
