When this comes round again

Babcock Land Defence Limited publishes Security, Defence & Safety Equipment work continuously — 16 notices, roughly one every 21 days. This is a stream to watch, not a cycle to wait for.

42% of Babcock Land Defence Limited’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 →
