This is the first time that the announcement of a snap election could have a direct impact for me. The large contract I'm working on is going through tender for renewal, and the successful bidder hasn't been announced yet.

As typical of anything involving civil servants, they are expected to announce a short contract extension because they aren't ready (They had a 12 month extension this time last year because they wasn't ready!)

Things never run smoothly, and I always expect 3-6 weeks downtime when contract renewal comes around, but a snap election could really mess things up. Having not been in the situation before, I hadn't given a thought to how it can affect people when purdah kicks in.
