How the contest usually goes
Winner shares use published awards; bid and price charts use contested lots.
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.
No supplier sizes published for this authority.
i
How often local firms win similar work.
Winners with a registered address in the delivery region, out of awards with a known address.
Local means the winner is registered in the region where that award was delivered.
A local branch does not count if the registered address is elsewhere.
No winner locations published for this authority. Local means a registered address in the region where that award was delivered.
i
How long buyers here take to decide after bids close.
Middle value in days from the bid deadline to the award date, on competitions that published both.
Only decided tenders count, so slow ones still waiting are not in.
Half of these awards have an award date within 74 days of the bid deadline.
i
How often work is awarded with no recorded rival.
Direct awards and tenders where every published lot count shows one bid.
The market share is a minimum: some awards have no bid count.
Thin markets produce this too; it is not proof of a tailored specification.
Awards are recorded, but published direct routes and bid counts do not establish this buyer’s share.
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.

How did awards compare with estimates?
i
Where winning prices landed against estimates.
Each colour shows awards below, close to or above the published estimate, one lot at a time.
On a framework or DPS, prices are agreed when work is called off.
Past prices are a guide, not a bid price.
Not comparable on a framework or DPS: the price is set later, on each call-off.

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.

To support the development and continuous improvement of this framework, we have undertaken targeted stakeholder engagement with existing framework suppliers and participating contracting authorities.
As part of this process, tailored questionnaires will be issued to those groups on the 1st October 2026 to gather stakeholder-specific feedback, market intelligence and opportunities for service improvement.
In the interests of transparency and to ensure that all interested organisations have an opportunity to contribute to the engagement process, we are also inviting the wider market to attend one of our Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) sessions.
Supplier Engagement Sessions: Potential suppliers and existing providers are invited to attend the supplier engagement sessions on the below dates:
Session 1 – Heating Suppliers
Date: 7th October 2026 Time: 10:00 – 11:00
Organisations wishing to attend the heating PME session should register their interest using the following link: forms.cloud.microsoft/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx ↗
Session 2 – Water Hygiene Supplier
Date: 7th October 2026 Time: 13.00 - 14.00
Organisations wishing to attend the water hygiene session PME should register their interest using the following link:
forms.cloud.microsoft/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx ↗
Please note that attendance is limited to registered participants.
Microsoft Teams invitations and joining instructions will be issued to those who register via the relevant form as above.
South East Consortium is conducting these activities solely to inform the development of its requirements and procurement strategy. Participation in the questionnaires, PME sessions or any other engagement activity will not provide any organisation with an advantage in any future procurement exercise, nor will non-participation disadvantage any organisation. Any future procurement opportunity will be competed openly and fairly in accordance with the relevant procurement legislation (Procurement Act 2023) and procurement principles.
