What is being bought

Published requirement description

Hampshire and Isle of Wight Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust is seeking to engage with the market to inform a future procurement for the provision of resuscitation equipment across the trust.

The Trust is looking to understand the current market offering and identify potential solutions to support the development of a robust specification and procurement strategy. Our intention is to source a single solution.

The anticipated contract would cover community sites across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight and will include a range of clinical environments operated by the Trust.

The information gathered through this engagement will be used solely to understand the market, inform the specification, and help determine the most appropriate procurement approach. Participation in this exercise does not form part of any formal procurement process, nor does it provide any advantage in any future tender opportunity.

How the contest usually goes

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

Question for the bidWhat 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: 22 of 32 known-size awards · market: division 33 · South East England (authority’s region), n=97
69%45%

Small firms have won here. Neither number says whether you qualify; it describes who has been winning.

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 South East England (authority’s region).

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

Last 36 months.

Buyer: 22 of 26 known-location awards · market: division 33 · South East England (authority’s region), n=162
85%30%

Most of this buyer’s recorded winners are registered in South East England.

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: 4 decided notices · market: division 33 · South East England (authority’s region), n=6
81 days40 days

Half of these awards were announced within 81 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 33 of 41 procurements with awards had no recorded rival · market: CPV 3317 · UK-wide, n=7
80%43%

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?

i

How many bids past lots received.

Each colour is a bid-count range. Only competed lots with a published count are included.

Past bids do not predict this tender.

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.
