When this comes round again

West Midlands Fire Service publishes Transport Equipment work continuously — 78 notices, roughly one every 1 day. This is a stream to watch, not a cycle to wait for.

39% of West Midlands Fire Service’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 →
