Bids & SME access
Average bids per award

Average across 261 of 653 awards with a published bid count.
SME-access ratio
0.36
Pooled SME wins ÷ SME bids, across 242 of 653 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.
