How the contest usually goes
Winner shares use published awards; bid and price charts use contested lots.
i
How often small and medium firms win.
Share of awards where the winner’s size is known.
The counts under this question show how many awards have a known supplier size.
No small-firm winners recorded among this authority’s published awards in this sample.
i
How often local firms win similar work.
Winners with a registered address in the delivery region, out of awards with a known address.
Here, local means the winner is registered in the region where that contract was delivered.
A local branch does not count if the registered address is elsewhere.
Most of this buyer’s recorded winners are registered outside Yorkshire and the Humber.
i
How long buyers here take to decide after bids close.
Middle value in days from the deadline to the first award notice, on competitions that published both dates.
Only decided tenders count, so slow ones still waiting are not in.
Half of these awards were announced within 118 days of the bid deadline.
i
How often work is awarded with no recorded rival.
Direct awards and tenders where every published lot count shows one bid.
The market share is a minimum: some awards have no bid count.
Thin markets produce this too; it is not proof of a tailored specification.
Direct awards or one recorded bid are common here. Check the route before spending time on a bid.
How many bids did past lots attract?
i
How many bids past lots received.
Each colour is a bid-count range. Only competed lots with a published count are included.
Past bids do not predict this tender.
1 bid12% / 0%
2–38% / 0%
4–646% / 0%
7+35% / 100%
How did awards compare with estimates?
i
Where winning prices landed against estimates.
Each colour shows awards below, close to or above the published estimate, one lot at a time.
On a framework or DPS, prices are agreed when work is called off.
Past prices are a guide, not a bid price.
Not comparable on a framework or DPS. The notice sets up a supplier panel and a ceiling value; what the work actually costs is agreed later, on each call-off or mini-competition, and those publish as contract notices of their own. The award-vs-estimate record of this market therefore sits on the call-offs; this page shows it on the contracts, not on the panel that frames them.

About this data
- Source. Official UK public procurement notices (Find a Tender), reused under the Open Government Licence v3.0. New notices arrive through the day; the figures are rebuilt nightly.
- Two views, kept apart. The authority’s own track record and the wider market for the same kind of work sit side by side and are never mixed. Where the local picture is too thin, a figure widens to a broader market and says which one it used.
- Forecasts are labelled. The price forecast and its range, possible competitors and the earlier-work matches are our estimates from past awards: not published facts, not win chances and not price advice. Official notices do not say who is bidding.
- Every figure shows what it rests on. Not every notice publishes a bid count, a value or a delivery region, so each figure carries the number of records behind it, and one built on few records is marked as such. The on a figure explains it; the counting rules are in the methodology. Spotted something wrong? Tell us.

NEUPC Ltd (NEUPC) wish to conduct preliminary market engagement (PME) with relevant and technically capable suppliers to assist the development of our procurement activity and preparing tender documents. Tender documents are not yet available.
PME will take place up to 15/1/2027, using a variety of possible methods of engagement which may include NEUPC approaching relevant suppliers and/or sectors of the market directly.
To participate, please email [email protected]
For the avoidance of doubt, those participating in the PME will still be able to tender for the framework and it is anticipated that suppliers taking part in the PME will not be put at an unfair advantage when bidding for this framework. A record of the information shared and received as part of the PME will be kept to demonstrate how the information gathered is considered in the procurement.
Suppliers participating in this PME are not guaranteed to receive either an Invitation to Tender (if Invitations to Tender are issued), or a place on any framework which may be awarded following a competitive tender process.
Suppliers are advised to register in advance on NEUPC's e-tendering portal, and/or monitor the FTS, if they wish to participate in and bid for this framework.
NEUPC's e-tendering portal:
www.neupc.ac.uk/join/suppliers/regis… ↗
FTS:
www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Search/Results ↗
Suppliers must complete the relevant stages on the Central Digital Platform (CDP) to submit a Tender. Suppliers should be aware that CDP registration could be a prolonged process. Tender submission deadlines cannot be extended to allow for late supplier registrations to the CDP. Examples of guidance re PA23 and the CDP include:
The guidance and FAQs produced by Government Commercial Function at:

Cabinet Office Information:
To make it easy for suppliers to find this information, there is a dedicated supplier information page ( www.gov.uk/government/collectio… ↗ ) on GOV.UK, including recordings of previous Get Ready webinar for suppliers and other external organisations (these sessions focused primarily on what the key changes are, how the central digital platform will work and a live demonstration), ‘how to’ videos, etc.

Suppliers Introduction to Tendering under PA23 ( online.flippingbook.com/view/526539829/ ↗ ) which covers background information to the Act and key changes suppliers need to be aware of, as well as what they need to do to prepare.
