When this comes round again

THE FINANCIAL CONDUCT AUTHORITY publishes Software & IT Systems work continuously — 45 notices, roughly one every 18 days. This is a stream to watch, not a cycle to wait for.

60% of THE FINANCIAL CONDUCT AUTHORITY’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 →
