Cleaning services (CPV 9091) in Greater London — and who usually turns up
Lady Margaret, Sacred Heart and William Morris Sixth Form has too little published record in this market to describe on its own; the Greater London market stands beside whatever it has. Frameworks and DPS are kept out: they attract a different number of bids. Whole-market view: Cleaning services (CPV 9091) →
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 contracts 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.

How many companies usually bid for work like this.
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 9091), last 36 months: 147 lots. 82 lots are from Procurement Act 2023 notices (bids assessed, middle 6) and 65 from older notices (bids received, middle 6).

Based on this region’s tenders in this sector (CPV 9091), last 36 months: 147 lots.

Estimate against award per lot, for this buyer or this region in the same sector.
Based on this region’s tenders in this sector (CPV 9091), last 36 months: 61 pairs.

A benchmark, not a price to bid.
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.
