Quality matters most. You can win without being the cheapest.

Competition

Usually high: a median of 6 bids per contract for IT and software contracts in this region (from 147 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 £3,000,000 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.
