This is a large award for Hospitality & Catering — above three-quarters of comparable contracts. Based on 3,335 valued Hospitality & Catering tenders in our corpus.
Educo publishes Hospitality & Catering work continuously — 23 notices, roughly one every 12 days. This is a stream to watch, not a cycle to wait for.
91% of Educo’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 →
