• They publish about 2.9 tenders a month, measured over 6 months of history.
• Half of the tenders where they publish a value are estimated at £500k or less.
• Most of their buying falls in architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services, construction work, sewage, refuse, cleaning and environmental services.
