How to win their contracts

Measured from Natural Resources Wales's own published record — no estimates, no generic advice.

• Plan for about 33 days to prepare a bid — that is the median gap between publication and deadline across 64 of their tenders.
• They publish about 4.1 tenders a month, measured over 66 months of history.
• Half of their 109 awarded contracts are worth £1.1m or less — size your bid to that range.
• Most of their buying falls in agricultural, forestry, horticultural, aquacultural and apicultural services, business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing, security, architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services.
• Their most frequent suppliers are E.J.Thomas and Son LTD (10), Euroforest Ltd (8), Cambrian Environmental Technologies Ltd (4) — expect to bid against incumbents who already know this buyer.
