Can I win this?

Competition

Usually high: a median of 13 bids per contract for this buyer (from 22 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 £7,500,000 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.
