Request for Information - Private Water Supply
£750,000 — stated in the notice
This is a large award for Engineering & Architecture — above three-quarters of comparable contracts. Based on 33,646 valued Engineering & Architecture tenders in our corpus.
The North Yorkshire Council publishes Engineering & Architecture work continuously — 43 notices, roughly one every 12 days. This is a stream to watch, not a cycle to wait for.
48% of The North Yorkshire 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 →
