How the contest usually goes
Winner shares use published awards; bid and price charts use contested lots.
i
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
Local means the winner is registered in the region where that award was delivered. The market figure counts awards delivered in Greater London.
Most of this buyer’s recorded winners were registered in the region where that award was delivered.
i
Half of these awards have an award date within 50 days of the bid deadline.
i
Both shares are minimums: some awards have no bid count.
Missing bid counts may hide more single-bid awards. This share is a minimum.

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.

Interested contractors should express their interest through the Council's ProContract portal and will be invited to a presentation session covering the scope, programme and site information for both schemes, followed by an opportunity for a session with the employer's agent and design team.
The session will specifically seek contractor views on:
Contract insurance: the Council has identified a capacity constraint on insuring the existing structure itself, and has indicated a preference, subject to testing at this engagement, for the contractor to hold full contract insurance covering both the existing structure and the works. Contractors' views are sought on whether they could provide this cover, and any cost impact this would have on preliminaries. If this proves impracticable in the market, the fallback position is JCT Option C, with the Council insuring the existing structure and the contractor insuring the works.
Programme: whether the proposed tender period and start on site dates above are considered achievable given the scope and site conditions.
