Sheffield City Council

How to win their contracts

Measured from Sheffield City Council'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 160 of their tenders.
• They publish about 6.9 tenders a month, measured over 67 months of history.
• Half of their 132 awarded contracts are worth £588.3k 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, education and training services.
• Their most frequent suppliers are Yorkshire Fitness and Leisure (3), SMG UK Limited, trading as ASM Global (2), Independent Domestic Abuse Service (2) — expect to bid against incumbents who already know this buyer.
