Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council publishes Health & Social Care work continuously — 90 notices, roughly one every 27 days. This is a stream to watch, not a cycle to wait for.
36% of Stockport Metropolitan 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 →
