When this comes round again

First Choice Homes Oldham's Engineering & Architecture cycle is past due — it ran about every 6 months across 8 notices, and the door is open now. It may re-tender at any time.

8% of First Choice Homes Oldham’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 →
