This sits in the lower-middle of the IT Services band — a mid-scale opportunity. Based on 36,449 valued IT Services tenders in our corpus.

When this comes round again

Heritage Fund publishes IT Services work continuously — 5 notices, roughly one every 30 days. This is a stream to watch, not a cycle to wait for.

39% of Heritage Fund’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 →
