This sits in the upper-middle of the Construction band — a substantial contract for the sector. Based on 64,002 valued Construction tenders in our corpus.
Newcastle City Council publishes Construction work continuously — 158 notices, roughly one every 6 days. This is a stream to watch, not a cycle to wait for.
17% of Newcastle City Council’s awards go to a supplier it has used before.
