How the opportunity score works
Score = Volume 30% + Momentum 20% + Low competition 25% + Easy criteria 15% + Order value 10%. Each part is 0–100; a part without enough data counts as a neutral 50.
- Volume: tenders in the period, compared with the biggest row of the list.
- Momentum: share published in the last 30 days vs the average (100 = twice as fast).
- Low competition: 2 bidders per bid = 100, 15 or more = 0.
- Easy criteria: share of read bid documents with no EMD, an MSE/startup exemption or no turnover/experience criterion.
- Order value: median winning (L1) price, compared with the highest in the list.
