OLG Köln

How to win their contracts

Measured from OLG Köln's own published record — no estimates, no generic advice.

• Plan for about 34 days to prepare a bid — that is the median gap between publication and deadline across 9 of their tenders.
• They publish about 3.8 tenders a month, measured over 3 months of history.
• Half of their 10 awarded contracts are worth €2.2m or less — size your bid to that range.
• Most of their buying falls in office and computing machinery, equipment and supplies, software package and information systems, business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing, security.
• Their most frequent suppliers are Bechtle GmbH (4) — expect to bid against incumbents who already know this buyer.
