When this comes round again

British Council's Business Services cycle is past due — it ran about every 3 months across 6 notices, and the door is open now. It may re-tender at any time.

18% of British 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 →
