Can I win this?

Competition

Typical: a median of 3 bids per contract for this buyer (from 20 awards in the last 12 months).

Framework

Winning puts you on a list of suppliers the buyer can call on; it does not guarantee work. The £433,333,332 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.

This engagement is aimed at foster care providers who are not currently appointed to the framework, organisations considering entering the Welsh market, and other interested stakeholders.
