How the contest usually goes

Winner shares use published awards; bid and price charts use contested lots.

Question for the bid
This buyerNewcastle City Council · all categories
What to do with it
How often do SMEs win?
i

The counts under this question show how many awards have a known supplier size.

Buyer: 19 of 32 known-size awards · market: CPV 9090 · UK-wide, n=29
59%100%

Small firms have won here. Neither number says whether you qualify; it describes who has been winning. 29 known-size awards sit across 3 procurements, so one procurement can dominate this percentage.

How often do local suppliers win?
i

Local means the winner is registered in the region where that award was delivered.

Buyer: 28 of 40 known-location awards · market: CPV 9090 · UK-wide, n=37
70%97%

Most of this buyer’s recorded winners were registered in the region where that award was delivered. 37 known-location awards sit across 3 procurements, so one procurement can dominate this percentage.

How long to a decision?
i
Buyer: 14 decided notices · market: division 90 · UK-wide, n=109
66 days59 days

Half of these awards have an award date within 66 days of the bid deadline.

How often single-bid or direct?
i

Both shares are minimums: some awards have no bid count.

Buyer: at least 4 of 17 procurements with awards had no recorded rival · market: division 90 · UK-wide, n=231
24%14%

Missing bid counts may hide more single-bid awards. This share is a minimum.

About this data
  • Estimates, labelled. The price range, possible competitors and earlier-work matches are our estimates from past awards, not published facts, win chances or price advice. The buyer’s own record and the wider market are shown apart, never mixed.
  • Source. Official UK public procurement notices (Find a Tender and Contracts Finder), reused under the Open Government Licence v3.0, updated through the day and rebuilt nightly. Not every figure uses both feeds, and each one shows how many records it rests on: see the methodology. Spotted something wrong? Tell us.
