This sits in the upper-middle of the Construction band — a substantial contract for the sector. Based on 64,002 valued Construction tenders in our corpus.

When this comes round again

Dover District Council publishes Construction work continuously — 69 notices, roughly one every 37 days. This is a stream to watch, not a cycle to wait for.

28% of Dover District 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 →
