When this comes round again

FCDO Services publishes Construction work continuously — 85 notices, roughly one every 3 days. This is a stream to watch, not a cycle to wait for.

93% of FCDO Services’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 →
