Bids & SME access

Average bids per award

7.3

Average across 7 of 13 awards with a published bid count.

SME-access ratio

0.14

Pooled SME wins ÷ SME bids, across 7 of 13 awards with published SME bid counts.

The SME-access ratio is a pooled rate (total SME awards divided by total SME bids), not an average of per-award rates. A higher ratio means a larger share of SME bids resulted in an award.
