How to win their contracts

Measured from RWTH Aachen University'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 10 of their tenders.
• They publish about 24.5 tenders a month, measured over 4 months of history.
• Half of their 100 awarded contracts are worth €430k or less — size your bid to that range.
• Most of their buying falls in industrial machinery, laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses), software package and information systems.
• Their most frequent suppliers are H & G Hansen & Gieraths IT Solutions GmbH (4), NEC Deutschland GmbH (2), itiso GmbH (2) — expect to bid against incumbents who already know this buyer.
