The submission route named on the official notice.
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.
Thanet District Council publishes Construction work continuously — 95 notices, roughly one every 21 days. This is a stream to watch, not a cycle to wait for.
36% of Thanet 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 →
