  • 28% of this buyer's awards went to companies that had already won here before (33 awards since 2017, spread over 24 companies). That is well below the sector norm (40%) — this buyer switches suppliers more often than others.n = 33 awards since 2017
  • The award came in at a median 117% of the estimated value (7 awards with both estimate and value) — pricing at the estimate is usually too low here. Sector: 98%.n = 7
  • The median procedure drew 2 bids (33 procedures with a bid count); 42% ended with a single bidder. Sector: median 1 bid.n = 33
  • Not one of the 33 awards with a known winner country has gone to a foreign company so far. Sector average: 5%.n = 33
