Supported Living DPS
The submission route named on the official notice.
This is a large award for Health & Social Care — above three-quarters of comparable contracts. Based on 32,734 valued Health & Social Care tenders in our corpus.
Leicestershire County Council publishes Health & Social Care work continuously — 294 notices, roughly one every 6 days. This is a stream to watch, not a cycle to wait for.
50% of Leicestershire County 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 →
