When this comes round again

YPO has published 6 Environment & Waste notices, about every 21 months. On that rhythm the next one is expected around January 2028.

58% of YPO’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 →

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.
