The contract runs for 5 years, starting 1 April 2026.

Can I win this?
Competition
Typical: a median of 4.5 bids per contract for this buyer (from 32 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 £4,800,000 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.
