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

Bread products, fresh pastry goods and cakes (CPV 1581) in North West England — and who usually turns up

Haslingden High School has too little published record in this market to describe on its own; the North West England market stands beside whatever it has. This notice is a framework or DPS, so only frameworks and DPS are compared. Whole-market view: Bread products, fresh pastry goods and cakes (CPV 1581) →

How the contest usually goes

Left: this authority. Right: the market where the work is delivered. Bids and award-vs-estimate pairs are per lot, from contested frameworks and DPS only — direct awards (including PA 2023 transparency notices) report one bid by definition and are left out. On Procurement Act 2023 notices the count is the tenders assessed at the final stage, not every submission received; pairs compare like with like (VAT-exclusive, or VAT-inclusive on both sides). Empty means nothing was published, not filled in from elsewhere.

This authority

Haslingden High School

no framework/DPS notices in Bread products, fresh pastry goods and cakes (CPV 1581) in 36 months

Haslingden High School has published no bid reports, no comparable estimate → award pairs and no award dates that this analysis can use — in Bread products, fresh pastry goods and cakes (CPV 1581) (36 months) or across all categories (24 months).

The market · authority’s region

North West England · Bread products, fresh pastry goods and cakes (CPV 1581)

framework/DPS notices delivered in North West England in 36 months: 5 in CPV 1581 (4 competed, 1 route not published) · 17 in division 15 (12 competed, 4 route not published) · the notice publishes no delivery location, so the authority’s registered region is used

Bids per lot

Middle value of published bid counts, one per lot, for this buyer or this region in the same sector.

Based on this region’s tenders in this sector (CPV 1581), last 36 months: 4 lots. All 4 lots are from older notices, which count bids received.

Nothing is filled in from UK-wide numbers. An empty tile means nothing usable was published.

i

How the number of bidders is spread across lots.

Each lot with a published bid count is put in a band: one bid, two to three, four to six, seven or more. Real competitions only.

Based on 4 lots on 3 contested notices · CPV 1581, last 36 months.

  • 1 bid 50%
  • 2–3 50%
  • 4–6 0%
  • 7+ 0%

How procedures are run moderate · n=4
i

Which procedures buyers here use.

Notices by the procedure they declare: open, selective, limited or direct. Open and selective are competitions; limited and direct are not.

Based on 5 notices · CPV 1581, last 36 months.

  • Open 100%
  • Selective 0%
  • Limited 0%
  • Direct 0%

5 notices · CPV 1581. Open and selective are competed (they feed the bid and price figures above); limited and direct are not; notices publishing no route are outside all four.

Coverage and what to read with care
  • Each tile explains itself. The on a figure says what it is, how it is counted and which scope this notice’s own record came from (class, division, all categories, or the authority’s 24-month row). The two columns are never blended and nothing is filled from a UK-wide figure; an empty tile means the source published nothing usable. Long form: Methodology.
  • Coverage. Roughly 40 % of notices publish a bid count; about half publish an ITL1 delivery location, so the market column reads the authority’s registered region when the notice has none (labelled). About 30 % of award-vs-estimate pairs are exact matches — the buyer published the award at the estimate. n is on every figure; a thin sample is muted, never hidden.
  • “Match” and “relevance” are model scores from the nightly matcher, not published facts. Find a Tender does not publish who is bidding. Never shown: contact details, payment behaviour, or a recommended price.
