When this comes round again

Ministry of Defence publishes Furniture & Furnishings work continuously — 142 notices, roughly one every 6 days. This is a stream to watch, not a cycle to wait for.

40% of Ministry of Defence’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 →
