How the contest usually goes

Winner shares use published awards; bid and price charts use contested lots.

Question for the bid
This buyerProcurement for Housing · all categories
What to do with it
How often do SMEs win?
i

The counts under this question show how many awards have a known supplier size.

Buyer: 25 of 42 known-size awards · market: CPV 5070 · UK-wide, n=162
60%52%

Small firms have won here. Neither number says whether you qualify; it describes who has been winning. 162 known-size awards sit across 11 procurements, so one procurement can dominate this percentage.

How often do local suppliers win?
i

Local means the winner is registered in the region where that award was delivered.

Buyer: 1 of 1 known-location awards · market: CPV 5070 · UK-wide, n=23
1 of 187%

Most of this buyer’s recorded winners were registered in the region where that award was delivered.

How long to a decision?
i
Buyer: 5 decided notices · market: CPV 5070 · UK-wide, n=9
62 days103 days

Half of these awards have an award date within 62 days of the bid deadline.

How often single-bid or direct?
i

The market share is a minimum: some awards have no bid count.

Buyer: exactly 0 of 3 procurements with awards had no recorded rival · market: CPV 5070 · UK-wide, n=11
0 of 327%

Missing bid counts may hide more single-bid awards. This share is a minimum.

How did awards compare with estimates?

i

On a framework or DPS, prices are agreed when work is called off.

Not comparable on a framework or DPS: the price is set later, on each call-off.

Commercial price forecast
i

No comparable awards for this lot yet.

—Priced at call-off
On a framework or DPS the price is agreed on each call-off, so there is no award price to forecast here: the published figure is a ceiling.

Who has supplied this buyer on similar work?
i

No earlier contract of this buyer matches this lot on the published record.

Who could compete for this lot?
i

Candidate suppliers for this notice have not been worked out yet, so this is not a verdict that nobody fits.

About this data
  • Estimates, labelled. The price range, possible competitors and earlier-work matches are our estimates from past awards, not published facts, win chances or price advice. The buyer’s own record and the wider market are shown apart, never mixed.
  • Source. Official UK public procurement notices (Find a Tender and Contracts Finder), reused under the Open Government Licence v3.0, updated through the day and rebuilt nightly. Not every figure uses both feeds, and each one shows how many records it rests on: see the methodology. Spotted something wrong? Tell us.

    As we shape the strategy for this new framework, we are keen to ensure it reflects both the needs of our members and the market.

    We are therefore seeking suppliers to engage with us to share their capabilities and expertise.

    We would like to engage with suppliers to review the proposed lot

    structure, develop robust specifications, review potential pricing methodology and identify any requirements we should consider when tendering for and setting up this framework agreement.

    If you are interested in engaging with PfH please express your interest by emailing [email protected] no later than 6th November 2026.

    Title your email "Preliminary Market Engagement - M&E".

    A questionnaire and accompanying information will be issued to suppliers who register their interest and we may invite suppliers to an individual follow-up meeting to discuss their feedback.

    Thank you for your interest and we look forward to hearing from you.
