This is a large award for Education & Training — above three-quarters of comparable contracts. Based on 23,516 valued Education & Training tenders in our corpus.

When this comes round again

West Sussex County Council publishes Education & Training work continuously — 21 notices, roughly one every 73 days. This is a stream to watch, not a cycle to wait for.

57% of West Sussex 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 →
