Bids & SME access

Average bids per award

5.5

Average across 36 of 124 awards with a published bid count.

SME-access ratio

0.20

Pooled SME wins ÷ SME bids, across 19 of 124 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.

Year-by-year trend
