Live figures
The notice's fields come from its own Find a Tender or Contracts Finder publication (tenders, read by OCID or slug). The value is resolved once per notice by the value render contract, so a framework ceiling is labelled as a ceiling and never printed as a price.
“What happened last time” reads horizon_prior_notice — the same buyer, an earlier notice, title similarity of 80% or more, and more than 45 days apart so a republication is not counted — and the named winners from notice_award_supplier. The re-win rates are incumbency_v2 for the notice's CPV division, withheld below 60 repeat events.
The readiness checklist quotes the requirements matched in this notice's text (tender_requirement) and adds the general steps every bid needs. The deadline in the planner is the notice's; the days you need are yours.
