High risk #06 Single-bidder rate

Authority ranking by single-bidder rate

Contracting authorities by the share of their tender lots that drew a single offer.

The single-bidder rate is the share of single-offer lots among all of an authority's lots on which money was spent. It helps set priorities: an authority well above the national rate deserves a look first. The ranking is ordered by the money spent on single-bidder lots. Computed on tenders only.

Where the money spent without competition went, by authority

The 10 largest authorities by value; the other 5128 are added into a single tile.

How it is computed

Computed on the same lots as indicator #05.

  1. For each authority, the lots in competitive procedures with prior publication on which at least one contract or subsequent contract has been signed are kept.
  2. Only lots whose offer count is known are counted; the others are reported separately and stay out of the rate.
  3. The single-bidder rate is the number of single-offer lots divided by the number of lots counted.
  4. The money spent is added up over all lots and over the single-bidder ones; their ratio is the share of the money.
  5. Only authorities with at least 5 counted lots are ranked. The national rate, however, is computed over the lots of every authority.

Thresholds

  • Rate = single-bidder lots divided by the lots counted, times 100
  • Only authorities with at least 5 counted lots are ranked

Only authorities with at least 5 counted lots are ranked; the others count only towards the national rate. Negotiation without prior publication, direct purchases and framework agreements without subsequent contracts are not included.

The data holds at most 200 contracts per notice. Where a notice has more, the money from the missing contracts is not in the figures.

The rate covers the whole period. An authority that changed its practice recently looks the same as one that did not. A few large single-bidder lots give a large share of the money at a small rate.
