This is a large award for Health & Social Care — above three-quarters of comparable contracts. Based on 32,734 valued Health & Social Care tenders in our corpus.

When this comes round again

Norfolk County Council publishes Health & Social Care work continuously — 288 notices, roughly one every 6 days. This is a stream to watch, not a cycle to wait for.

15% of Norfolk County 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 →
