How to win their contracts

Measured from NHS South Yorkshire Integrated Care 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 7 of their tenders.
• They publish about 16.8 tenders a month, measured over 45 months of history.
• Half of their 604 awarded contracts are worth £1 or less — size your bid to that range.
• Most of their buying falls in health and social work services, business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing, security, administration, defence and social security services.
• Their most frequent suppliers are Primary Care Sheffield Ltd (6), Barnsley Road Surgery (6), Steel City General Practice (5) — expect to bid against incumbents who already know this buyer.
