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

Gaseous fuels (CPV 0912) in South East England — and who usually turns up

The Mill Academy has too little published record in this market to describe on its own; the South East England market stands beside whatever it has. Frameworks and DPS are kept out: they attract a different number of bids.

How the contest usually goes

Left: this authority. Right: the market where the work is delivered. Bids and award-vs-estimate pairs are per lot, from contested contracts only — direct awards report one bid by definition and are left out. Empty means nothing was published, not filled in from elsewhere.

This authority

The Mill Academy

contract notices in 36 months: 1 in all categories

The Mill Academy has published no bid reports, no comparable estimate → award pairs and no award dates that this analysis can use — in Gaseous fuels (CPV 0912) (36 months) or across all categories (24 months).

robust · n=16 Awards in South East England (division 09, n=16 pairs) land a median at estimate: on this notice’s £516,274 that is about £516,274, middle half £443,479–£583,390 (quartiles from South East England · division 09). Context for a bid, not a recommended price.

Method and what to read with care

Two columns, no blending. The authority column walks its own record only: notices in the 4-digit class, then the 2-digit division, then all categories (36 months, per lot, contested only), and as a last resort its 24-month row across all categories (per notice, every route). The market column is the notice’s primary delivery ITL1 × the same class, then division (36 months). Nothing is filled from the UK-wide class; an empty tile means the source published nothing usable.
Per lot, contested only. Find a Tender publishes bid counts per lot; a seven-lot tender is seven contests. Procedures awarded without competition (limited / direct) are excluded from bids, price pairs and decision days — they report one bid by definition. Frameworks and DPS are a separate population from contracts (6–7 bids per lot against 2–4) and only the notice’s own kind is shown.
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). Award-vs-estimate pairs need a lot estimate, one active award on the lot, one canonical supplier and a gap under 60 %; about 30 % of pairs are exact matches (the buyer published the award at the estimate). n is on every figure; below 3 the tile is muted, never hidden.
Pounds. The expected award applies the authority’s median movement (or the region’s, when the authority has fewer than 3 pairs) to this notice’s estimate; the middle half uses the region’s quartiles. A multi-lot notice publishes an envelope, so the movement is applied per lot, never to the total. A benchmark, not a recommended price.
“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.
