Bids & SME access

Average bids per award

5.6

Average across 5 of 44 awards with a published bid count.

SME-access ratio

SME bid-count data not yet published for enough of this authority's awards (4 of 44).

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

Computed across the 5 of 44 awards that carry a published date. The open-market share here therefore rests on this dated subset.
