Why awards are a pipeline
Most government service work is ordered under contracts that expire on a predictable schedule. Knowing who holds a contract, what it is worth and when it ends tells a challenger when to start positioning — and tells a subcontractor which incumbents to approach. Australia is where our public data is strongest: AusTender publishes every federal contract notice, so we track awards there as recompete intelligence (200 notices, about A$99M in the latest snapshot).
