This is a large award for Construction — above three-quarters of comparable contracts. Based on 64,002 valued Construction tenders in our corpus.

When this comes round again

Dorset Council publishes Construction work continuously — 42 notices, roughly one every 27 days. This is a stream to watch, not a cycle to wait for.

48% of Dorset 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 →
