Competition

Typical: a median of 4 bids per contract for this buyer (from 117 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 £59,625,000 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.
