The procurement contact named on the official notice.
Northern Health and Social Care Trust publishes Health & Social Care work continuously — 17 notices, roughly one every 55 days. This is a stream to watch, not a cycle to wait for.
36% of Northern Health and Social Care Trust’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 →
