When this comes round again

Waverley Borough Council has published 9 Engineering & Architecture notices, about every 5 months. On that rhythm the next one is expected around January 2027.

19% of Waverley Borough 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 →
