How often do local suppliers win?
i

How often local firms win similar work.

Winners with a registered address in the delivery region, out of awards with a known address.

How long to a decision?
i

How long buyers here take to decide after bids close.

Middle value in days from the bid deadline to the award date, on competitions that published both.

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.

    Convent Way Estate Regeneration - Soft Market Engagement (SME) & Expression of Interest (EOI)

    London Borough of Hounslow is undertaking a Soft Market Engagement (SME) exercise to inform the upcoming procurement of a Development / Investment Partner for the regeneration of the Convent Way Estate. Suppliers are invited to complete an

    Expression of Interest (EOI) and may be selected for 1 to 1 SME discussions.

    Full Description (Portal Ready)

    The London Borough of Hounslow is progressing the comprehensive regeneration of the Convent Way Estate, following a positive resident ballot and subsequent redesign of the masterplan. The updated scheme proposes approximately 550-568 homes, including full reprovision of existing social rent units, additional affordable homes, and later phase market housing. Delivery will be phased across up to five stages, supported by a revised hybrid planning application and phased CPO strategy.

    The Council intends to procure a Development / Investment Partner through a Competitive Flexible Procedure. Early phases will be delivered on behalf of the Council, with later phases delivered by the partner as retained developer.

    Alongside the main regeneration procurement, the Council is considering tendering interim capital works (roof and concrete repairs, estimated value up to £5m). Bidders may express interest in regeneration only or regeneration + capital works.

    This Soft Market Engagement aims to:

    • Present the updated scheme and planning strategy
    • Seek market feedback on deliverability, phasing, commercial structure, and risk allocation
    • Test appetite for combined procurement of regeneration and capital works
    • Inform the final procurement approach

    Suppliers must complete the EOI questionnaire and may be invited to a 1 to 1 SME session. Participation does not form part of any future evaluation.
