Clement What the numbers say about this buyer
- 52% of this buyer's awards went to companies that had already won here before (5,240 awards since 2012, spread over 1,870 companies). That is well above the sector norm (23%) — newcomers have a harder time here than elsewhere.n = 5,240 awards since 2012
- The median procedure drew 5 bids (220 procedures with a bid count); 12% ended with a single bidder. Sector: median 2 bids.n = 220
- Not one of the 5,240 awards with a known winner country has gone to a foreign company so far. Sector average: 13%.n = 5,240
- The award came in at a median 68% of the estimated value (57 awards with both estimate and value) — pricing at the estimate is usually too high here.n = 57
- 2% of the bids received came from other countries (28 procedures with a bid mix) — all bidders, not just the winners.n = 28
