Read an award's winner, value, and competition

An award page shows who won, what the work was worth, how many firms bid, and whether the winner hires small firms.

Click an award card on the Awards page to open its page. The page has up to five sections.

Steps

Who won it, and for how much. The page shows the amount that the government paid out so far. It can also show the current value and what the job could reach. It also names the winner, the buyer, the place and when the work started.
How much competition there was. The page shows how many firms bid. It says if the field is small or crowded. It says if the job did not go to open competition.
Do they hire small firms? The page shows how many firms the winner brought in on work like this in the last two years. The count is "at least" that number, because public filings cover only the largest subcontracts. If no subcontracts are on record, the page says "We do not know".
What happens next. The page gives one line of advice for the age of the award. See Use past awards to prepare for possible repeat work.
Where this comes from. The page links to the public record when one exists.

The date shows when the work started. It is not the signing date.
The government does not publish who lost a bid.
The page cannot name a person to call. Start at the winner's website and ask for whoever handles subcontracting.

Two controls help you: the Save this award button and the winner's name, which is a link. See Save an award for later and Open an award winner in Partners.

⚠️ If this does not work: If a section is missing, read Why an award or bidder detail is missing.
