The Police and Crime Commissioner for Kent: tenders, sectors & how to win their contracts

How to win their contracts

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

Plan for about 30 days to prepare a bid — that is the median gap between publication and deadline across 7 of their tenders.
They publish about 0.7 tenders a month, measured over 67 months of history.
Half of the tenders where they publish a value are estimated at £109.5k or less.
Most of their buying falls in construction work, transport equipment and auxiliary products to transportation, radio, television, communication, telecommunication and related equipment.
Their most frequent suppliers are Polaris Britain Ltd (4), Knight Frank LLP (2), UKPN (2) — expect to bid against incumbents who already know this buyer.
