Can I win this?

Competition

Typical: a median of 5 bids per contract for this buyer (from 42 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 £12,000,000 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.

What the notice says

Framework for the provision of 'Preferred Provider' supported and Independent living accommodation for looked after children aged 17 plus.
