Cornwall Council Market Engagement Exercise: Planning Site Analysis & Evaluation Tool
This sits in the upper-middle of the Software & IT Systems band — a substantial contract for the sector. Based on 30,286 valued Software & IT Systems tenders in our corpus.
Cornwall Council publishes Software & IT Systems work continuously — 106 notices, roughly one every 15 days. This is a stream to watch, not a cycle to wait for.
44% of Cornwall Council’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 →
