Key Capabilities

What it does

Authority Profiling

Total contract awards by year with year-on-year growth rates. Top 20 suppliers by contract value with market share percentages. Procedure type distribution: Open, Restricted, Competitive Dialogue, Direct Award. Average contract value, duration, and number of bidders per competition.

Framework and DPS Analysis

Which frameworks and DPS arrangements the authority uses most. Framework utilisation rates by CPV category. Identification of authorities increasing or decreasing their use of framework agreements. Direct award rate analysis.

Budget Cycle Intelligence

Quarterly award patterns revealing budget-year spending surges. Multi-year contract patterns for authorities with longer procurement cycles. Correlation between authority budget cycles and procurement timing.

Competitive Landscape Mapping

Incumbent supplier identification with contract expiration dates. New entrant tracking showing which suppliers recently won their first award from the authority. Teaming relationship mapping between prime and subcontractors.

How it Works

Simple steps to get started

1

Search for any contracting authority

Look up any contracting authority by name, organisation type, or NUTS region. Bidovate returns the full award history from TED, OJEU, and national award notice databases.

2

Filter the authority's spending data

Filter by CPV code, fiscal year, procedure type, or framework agreement to see exactly how the authority buys in your sector.

3

Compare against market-wide benchmarks

See how the authority's procurement patterns compare against sector-wide benchmarks to identify unique buying characteristics.

4

Feed bid/no-bid decisions

Authority intelligence flows directly into your bid/no-bid scoring. Data-driven pursuit decisions, not gut feel.

Why it Matters

The problem this solves

Before you invest weeks of bid effort into a tender, you need to understand the authority behind it. How much do they spend in your CPV codes? Who are their incumbent suppliers? Do they favour framework call-offs or open procedure? Authority Intelligence answers all of these questions with hard data.
