When this comes round again

University of Essex has published 7 Petroleum, Fuel & Energy Products notices, about every 22 months. On that rhythm the next one is expected around June 2028.

53% of University of Essex’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 →
