✓At £370,000, expect quality and social value to carry a large share of the score — price alone rarely wins works work.
✓Show recent, comparable delivery: name similar works contracts you've delivered for public bodies, with measurable outcomes.
✓Start early: it closes 21 August 2026 and a strong bid takes iteration.
