RFI - New recruitment model for permanent and interim staff
Financial Ombudsman Service publishes Business Services work continuously — 35 notices, roughly one every 27 days. This is a stream to watch, not a cycle to wait for.
42% of Financial Ombudsman Service’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 →
