How to win their contracts

Measured from Universiteit Twente's own published record — no estimates, no generic advice.

• Plan for about 50 days to prepare a bid — that is the median gap between publication and deadline across 70 of their tenders.
• They publish about 1.1 tenders a month, measured over 67 months of history.
• Half of their 55 awarded contracts are worth €490k or less — size your bid to that range.
• Most of their buying falls in laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses), business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing, security, software package and information systems.
• Their most frequent suppliers are Mendix (3), Driessen B.V. (2), Oxford Instruments GmbH (2) — expect to bid against incumbents who already know this buyer.
