This sits in the upper-middle of the Construction band — a substantial contract for the sector. Based on 64,002 valued Construction tenders in our corpus.
Northern Lighthouse Board publishes Construction work continuously — 111 notices, roughly one every 18 days. This is a stream to watch, not a cycle to wait for.
54% of Northern Lighthouse Board’s awards go to a supplier it has used before.
