Tactics
When this buyer has awarded in this sector, there was usually a single bid in the end. A solid bid has a real chance here. (Based on 220 completed awards — not a statement about this procedure.)
This procedure allows 35 days between publication and deadline — typical in this country is 27 (median of 7,300 procedures). Much more generous than usual — time for a thorough bid rather than a quick one.
The deadline falls on a Monday — your last full working day is the Friday before. Have evidence and guarantees together by Thursday.
