When this comes round again

Shetland Islands Council has published 3 Transport Services notices, about every 14 months. On that rhythm the next one is expected around November 2026.

40% of Shetland Islands 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 →

1 named, none in explicit obligation language. Each one is quoted from the notice.

Matched against the notice text, so this is a floor — the tender pack will demand things the notice never mentions. “Says must” means the quoted sentence itself used obligation language; anything ambiguous is left as a mention.
