## How contested Competition and Markets Authority's contracts are

From the award notices we hold. Each figure shows how many contracts it's based on, and we hide figures with too few to say anything. A re-tender counts as kept when a supplier on the earlier contract also won its successor.

COMPETITION AND MARKETS AUTHORITY, all contracts, awards 2014 to 2026

23 of 48 re-tendered contracts kept by the incumbent 48% retention

3.3 bids per award on average 3 of 7 awards had a single bid

17% of awarded value to the top 3 suppliers 374 suppliers, 562 valued contracts

10 of 20 contracts won by SMEs where the winner declared its size

314 of 585 contracts won by suppliers new to this buyer 54% new-entrant win rate

Business plans see the same figures for each of the 13 sectors this buyer awards in.
