How often this buyer tenders this kind of work
Tactics
When contracts were awarded in this country and sector, usually only one or two bids came in. A solid bid has a real chance here. (Based on 1,619 completed awards — not a statement about this procedure.)
This procedure allows 63 days between publication and deadline — typical in this country is 48 (median of 2,911 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.
Foreign bidders
