Buying pattern
Department for Education has published 15 notices that we hold between 7 Aug 2026 and 8 Oct 2026, most often in Education & Training (10). Half of its notices give bidders 30 days or less between publication and the deadline, so a supplier who checks weekly will see almost every one in time. The usual procedure is the rfi.
