What to do with it
How often do SMEs win?
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.

Last 36 months.

Buyer: 10 of 31 known-size awards · market: division 85 · Yorkshire and the Humber, n=2,675
32%64%

Small firms have won here. Neither number says whether you qualify; it describes who has been winning. Small firms win less of this buyer’s work than the market’s: 32% against 64%, n=31.

How often do local suppliers win?
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 Yorkshire and the Humber.

A local branch does not count if the registered address is elsewhere.

Last 36 months.

Buyer: 30 of 42 known-location awards · market: division 85 · Yorkshire and the Humber, n=3,035
71%72%

Most of this buyer’s recorded winners are registered in Yorkshire and the Humber.

How long to a decision?
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.

Last 36 months.

Buyer: 5 decided notices · market: division 85 · Yorkshire and the Humber, n=131
69 days43 days

Half of these awards were announced within 69 days of the bid deadline.

How often single-bid or direct?
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.

Last 36 months.

Buyer: at least 35 of 45 procurements with awards had no recorded rival · market: division 85 · Yorkshire and the Humber, n=2,275
78%81%

Direct awards or one recorded bid are common here. Check the route before spending time on a bid.

How many bids did past lots attract?

How many bids past lots received.

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.

    Leeds City Council is looking to commission a citywide Neighbourhood Reablement service to be delivered by CQC registered Homecare providers. This will be a transitional, temporary service, primarily for people who are clinically fit for discharge from hospital, but who need a short period of outcome focussed, reabling support to maximise their independence and reduce or remove the need for a long term care package.

    This is an exciting opportunity with the key requirements being for providers to have the capacity to ensure urgent pick up of all packages and the expectation that the support delivered will result in a significant proportion of people exiting the service with either no long term care package, or a package of care that is much reduced from when they were discharged.

    This will be a separate contract to the Neighbourhood Homecare contract, with a provisional, proposed service start date of April - June 2027.

    We are keen to consult with the provider market on our proposed approach for this service and would therefore like to invite you to an online session to explain our vision for the service and ascertain your initial views. This session will be followed up by a survey to provide further opportunity for you to have your say.

    The online (MS teams) session will be held on 30th July 2 - 3.30pm - if you would like to attend, please email: [email protected] and we will forward a Microsoft Teams invitation.
