Procurement analytics for a specific decision
For market-intelligence and bid teams: define the question, inspect the available evidence and record its limits before making a commercial decision. A count of notices, an award value and a supplier win rate describe different things.

1. Choose the market and the question
Start with a scope and a question such as how recorded activity varies over time or what comparable awards reveal about a potential pursuit. Fix the geography, classification and period before comparing results.
In the analytics workspace, the widget builder provides scope selection, available metrics and dimensions, filters and premade widgets. Available options depend on the analytics catalogue and your access; request a walkthrough of the options available for your market.
2. Preview before adding a dashboard widget
Name the question, choose compatible fields and filters, and use Run preview. The builder reports invalid combinations before running or adding a widget. Inspect the result and any coverage caveat before saving it to a dashboard.
Keep the scope, period and metric definition with the result. If a result is unavailable, resolve that condition rather than interpreting it as zero activity.
3. Use contract context to challenge assumptions
Contract detail includes a competitive-landscape section where supporting market data is available. Comparable-value analysis can show a median and a typical value band, with the contract estimate positioned against it when an estimate exists.
Use that context to ask better questions about lot size, duration and delivery scope. It is not a recommended bid price, a forecast of the winner or proof that the compared contracts are identical.
4. Keep missing data visible
Published awards do not reveal every submitted bid, so award counts alone cannot establish competitor win rates. Missing award values are not zero spend, and framework estimates are not necessarily committed orders.
Cross-market comparisons also depend on coverage, classification and currency consistency. Ask which records and time periods support a chart before calling it total addressable market. This page makes no verified contract-volume or complete-market claim.

Bring one market question and an example contract. Ask to see the available metrics, the resulting preview, the underlying comparison and any coverage limitations before using the result in a commercial plan.
