This sits in the lower-middle of the Construction band — a mid-scale opportunity. Based on 64,002 valued Construction tenders in our corpus.

When this comes round again

Forestry Commission publishes Construction work continuously — 52 notices, roughly one every 24 days. This is a stream to watch, not a cycle to wait for.

15% of Forestry Commission’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 →
