What is being bought

Published requirement description

The project will deliver a comprehensive programme of stock surveys across the Council's housing portfolio, including Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) assessments, Housing Health and Safety Rating System (HHSRS) assessments, stock condition surveys, component lifecycle assessments and reviews of Decent Homes compliance.

The surveys will provide a comprehensive and up-to-date understanding of the condition, safety and energy efficiency of the Council's housing stock, supporting compliance with statutory and regulatory requirements and identifying any HHSRS hazards requiring remedial action. The information gathered will establish a robust evidence base to inform future asset management strategies, housing improvement programmes and long-term investment planning, enabling the Council to make informed decisions regarding the maintenance, replacement and enhancement of its housing assets.

How the contest usually goes

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

Question for the bid
This buyerSouth Holland District Council · all categories
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: 8 of 19 known-size awards · market: CPV 7131 · UK-wide, n=1,207
42%56%

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.

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.

Last 36 months.

Buyer: 10 of 28 known-location awards · market: CPV 7131 · UK-wide, n=1,161
36%51%

Most of this buyer’s recorded winners were registered outside the region where that award was delivered.

How long to a decision?
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.

Last 36 months.

Buyer: 4 decided notices · market: CPV 7131 · UK-wide, n=227
23 days48 days

Half of these awards have an award date within 23 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 9 of 21 procurements with awards had no recorded rival · market: CPV 7131 · UK-wide, n=1,682
43%42%

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.

Last 36 months.

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.
