When this comes round again

the Education Authority has published 4 Musical, Sports & Leisure Goods notices, about every 4 months. On that rhythm the next one is expected around January 2027.

75% of the Education Authority’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 →
