The Police and Crime Commissioner for Cambridgeshire

How to win their contracts

Measured from The Police and Crime Commissioner for Cambridgeshire's own published record — no estimates, no generic advice.

• Plan for about 25 days to prepare a bid — that is the median gap between publication and deadline across 10 of their tenders.
• They publish about 2.4 tenders a month, measured over 16 months of history.
• Half of the tenders where they publish a value are estimated at £64.4k or less.
• Most of their buying falls in health and social work services, electrical machinery, apparatus, equipment and consumables; lighting, construction structures and materials; auxiliary products to construction.
• Their most frequent suppliers are Cambridge Rape Crisis Centre (4), Red Snapper Managed Services Limited (2), Softcat Limited (2) — expect to bid against incumbents who already know this buyer.
