When this comes round again

North Ayrshire Council publishes Food & Beverages work continuously — 11 notices, roughly one every 64 days. This is a stream to watch, not a cycle to wait for.

40% of North Ayrshire 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 →
