Question for the bid
This buyerNorth Tyneside Council · all categories
The marketHealth and social work services (CPV 85) · North East England
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: 23 of 28 known-size awards · market: division 85 · North East England, n=502
82%76%

Small firms have won here. Neither number says whether you qualify; it describes who has been winning. 502 known-size awards sit across 54 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. The market figure counts awards delivered in North East England.

Buyer: 13 of 13 known-location awards · market: division 85 · North East England, n=578
100%41%

Most of this buyer’s recorded winners were registered in the region where that award was delivered. 578 known-location awards sit across 54 procurements, so one procurement can dominate this percentage.

How long to a decision?
i
Buyer: 14 decided notices · market: division 85 · North East England, n=26
83 days63 days

Half of these awards have an award date within 83 days of the bid deadline.

How often single-bid or direct?
i

The market share is a minimum: some awards have no bid count.

Buyer: exactly 2 of 9 procurements with awards had no recorded rival · market: division 85 · North East England, n=54
22%7%

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

Commercial price forecast
i

No comparable awards for this lot yet.

—Priced at call-off
On a framework or DPS the price is agreed on each call-off, so there is no award price to forecast here: the published figure is a ceiling.

Who has supplied this buyer on similar work?
i

No earlier contract of this buyer matches this lot on the published record.

Who could compete for this lot?
i

Candidate suppliers for this notice have not been worked out yet, so this is not a verdict that nobody fits.

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.
