When this comes round again

Trafford Council has published 19 IT Services notices, about every 3 months. On that rhythm the next one is expected around October 2026.

28% of Trafford 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 →
