How to win their contracts

Measured from University of Sunderland's own published record — no estimates, no generic advice.

• Plan for about 32 days to prepare a bid — that is the median gap between publication and deadline across 32 of their tenders.
• They publish about 1.4 tenders a month, measured over 67 months of history.
• Half of their 29 awarded contracts are worth £650k or less — size your bid to that range.
• Most of their buying falls in construction work, business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing, security, architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services.
• Their most frequent suppliers are Identity Consult Limited (2), Jackson Lift Services (2), Ede & Ravenscroft (2) — expect to bid against incumbents who already know this buyer.
