The lotProcurement structure
single lot · no lot value publishedLot #1The Maternity and Neonatal Patient Reported Experience Measure (MatNeo PREM) responds…Planned
The Maternity and Neonatal Patient Reported Experience Measure (MatNeo PREM) responds to a commitment in the Ten-Year Health Plan that “a new PREM…enables all women and families to provide feedback on their care from summer 2026 onwards”. <br/><br/>The service will require a provider to develop an interim approach that enables all maternity and neonatal service users to receive a PREM questionnaire in a range of languages and formats, with responses to be collected centrally and made available in near real-time.<br/><br/>The appointed supplier will be required to understand and provide the support and guidance Trusts need to equip them with skills and knowledge to successfully implement PREM. This could include, providing Trusts with training and information and offering a helpline for technical support as well as co-producing (with service users) a communication strategy and materials to promote the PREM for service users.<br/><br/>This interim solution will ensure that:<br/><br/>- PREM questionnaire is available to all service users. <br/>- PREM is available in different languages. <br/>- Trusts can use the data from PREM responses to make improvements to care.

Pipeline intelligence · planning stage: how this market runs before the tender is published
How NHS England buys Market research services (CPV 7931), and who usually turns up
NHS England’s own published record, next to the published market for the same work. Frameworks and DPS are kept out: they attract a different number of bids. Whole-market view: Market research services (CPV 7931) →
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 Greater London.
A local branch does not count if the registered address is elsewhere.
Most of this buyer’s recorded winners are registered in Greater London.
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 24 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.

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.
