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

Cleaning services (CPV 9091) in Scotland — and who usually turns up

Molendinar Park Housing Association Limited has too little published record in this market to describe on its own; the Scotland 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: the procurement agent running this notice. 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.

i

Where this tender’s estimate would land if the usual pattern repeats.

We apply the buyer’s usual movement between estimate and award (or the region’s) to the estimate on this notice.

No estimate in pounds on this notice, so the movement stays a percentage.

A benchmark, not a price to bid.

The middle award in Scotland (CPV 9091, n=16 pairs) lands 1% below; this notice publishes no GBP estimate to apply it to.
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.
