Can I win this?

Competition

Typical: a median of 4 bids per contract for this buyer (from 15 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 £8,400,000 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.
