Competition analysis · published record, not a forecast of who will bid

Competition for Miscellaneous business-related services (CPV 7999), and who usually turns up

Procurement Assist Limited c/o Integrated Facilities Management Bolton Ltd (iFM Bolton) has too little published record in this market to describe on its own. No delivery region is published, so no market column stands beside whatever it has. Frameworks and DPS are kept out: they attract a different number of bids.

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.
