Activate Learning publishes Education & Training work continuously — 31 notices, roughly one every 1 day. This is a stream to watch, not a cycle to wait for.
55% of Activate Learning’s awards go to a supplier it has used before.
Which is the argument for getting on the list rather than winning this one. The incumbent is rarely the last winner — it is the roster. See the retention odds by category →
