Bids & SME access

Average bids per award

3.1

Average across 27 of 34 awards with a published bid count.

SME-access ratio

0.34

Pooled SME wins ÷ SME bids, across 25 of 34 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

Computed across the 27 of 34 awards that carry a published date. The open-market share here therefore rests on this dated subset.
