Bids & SME access

Average bids per award

4.0

Average across 90 of 177 awards with a published bid count.

SME-access ratio

0.33

Pooled SME wins ÷ SME bids, across 85 of 177 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.
