Sports Wear & Equipment - Resale Stock

Newcastle-under-Lyme Borough Council's Clothing & Footwear cycle is past due — it ran about every 39 months across 3 notices, and the door is open now. It may re-tender at any time.

29% of Newcastle-under-Lyme Borough 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 →
