When this comes round again

Southern Water Services Limited publishes IT Services work continuously — 10 notices, roughly one every 64 days. This is a stream to watch, not a cycle to wait for.

39% of Southern Water Services Limited’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 →
