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.
Small firms have won here. Neither number says whether you qualify; it describes who has been winning.
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 registered in Yorkshire and the Humber.
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 61 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.
Both shares are minimums: 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.

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.
Past prices are a guide, not a bid price.

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.

Yorkshire Housing Group ("YHG") is considering the procurement of its Insurance Programme, anticipated contract start date being 1st April 2027.
In advance of any formal procurement process, and in accordance with Section 17 (Preliminary Market Engagement) of the Procurement Act 2023, Yorkshire Housing intends to undertake a period of pre‐market engagement. The purpose of this engagement is to share early, high‐level thinking in relation to the proposed insurance tender and to seek feedback on how these initial ideas may be perceived by the insurance market, including considerations around market appetite, structure and deliverability.
Given current market dynamics, Yorkshire Housing is keen to engage with prospective insurers, as well as brokers, to ensure that discussions are conducted in a fair, transparent and proportionate manner and without conferring any unfair competitive advantage, in line with the principles of the Procurement Act 2023. As a result, we may reach out to insurers directly where we believe there are no exclusive agreements in place with brokers.
Those insurers and all other interested brokers and providers will then be invited by YHG to participate in a pre‐market engagement meeting.
Friday 21st August at 10.00am
YHG will present an overview of the business, strategic plans for the next 3-5 years, risk appetite and existing strategy. There will then follow the opportunity for questions during the allocated time (expected to be 30 mins including the presentation)
If, however, a further separate meeting is required for interested parties, YHG have also reserved 21st August and 24th August when individual meetings can take place. YHG would then further assess market capacity and appetite for the Business and any specific requirements that potential Bidders might have and which needs to be factored into the Tender process or the specification in due course.
Any meetings held during pre-engagement are not scored and do not form part of any competitive process that Yorkshire Housing decides to instigate following pre-engagement.
Please note that participation in this pre‐market engagement is entirely voluntary. It will not form part of any evaluation process, nor will it confer any advantage or disadvantage in any future procurement exercise. Yorkshire Housing also anticipates that there will be further engagement opportunities throughout the course of the eventual tender.
We would be grateful if you could respond at your earliest convenience with your nominated insurers.
Should you have any questions regarding the process or its alignment with procurement requirements, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Any pre-engagement meetings will be held online via Microsoft Teams
