Clement What the numbers say about this buyer

  • 0% of this buyer's awards went to companies that had already won here before (10 awards since 2026, spread over 10 companies). That is well below the sector norm (25%) — this buyer switches suppliers more often than others.n = 10 awards since 2026
  • The award came in at a median 67% of the estimated value (8 awards with both estimate and value) — pricing at the estimate is usually too high here. Sector: 73%.n = 8
  • The median procedure drew 2 bids (10 procedures with a bid count); 10% ended with a single bidder. Sector: median 2 bids.n = 10
  • Not one of the 10 awards with a known winner country has gone to a foreign company so far. Sector average: 2%.n = 10
