It is a framework worth up to £75,000,000 excluding VAT: the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers, not one contract.

Can I win this?
Competition
Typical: a median of 4 bids per contract for this buyer (from 6 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 £75,000,000 is the most the buyer expects to spend across all suppliers over the framework's life, not one contract.
