Geographic Distribution and Sector Concentration
Geographic analysis reveals that the United Kingdom was the most active market for Works tenders on January 12, 2026, with 21 published opportunities. This represents over 55% of all new tenders in the Works category globally, positioning the UK as the dominant procurement hub for the day. The United States followed with 8 new tenders, while Kenya and South Africa contributed 6 and 3 tenders respectively, showing notable activity in African markets.
All 38 new tenders fell exclusively within the 'Works' sector category, indicating a focused procurement day dedicated to construction, engineering, and infrastructure development. This concentration suggests either specialized procurement cycles or coincidental alignment of publishing schedules across different geographic regions. The uniformity across sectors simplifies analysis but may not represent typical daily distributions.
The geographic spread shows a concentration in English-speaking developed and developing markets, with the UK and US accounting for 29 of the 38 tenders. The presence of Kenya and South Africa highlights ongoing infrastructure investment in key African economies, though at a significantly lower volume than the Anglo-American markets on this particular date.
- United Kingdom: 21 tenders (55% of global total)
- United States: 8 tenders
- Kenya: 6 tenders
- South Africa: 3 tenders
Contract Awards and Winning Entities
Five contracts were awarded in the Works category on January 12, 2026, with each going to a different contractor. The winning entities represent a mix of established firms and specialized service providers. Thornton Tomasetti Inc, The Morganti Group, and The McKissack Group Inc are recognized names in construction and engineering, while Kemlot Global Associates Inc and BIB Services Corp appear to be more specialized or regional operators.
The even distribution of awards—one per winning entity—suggests a competitive landscape where no single contractor dominated the day's awards. This pattern could indicate diverse project types requiring different specializations or geographic considerations that favored local or regional bidders. The awarded value of $12,985,292.00 spread across five contracts implies an average award value of approximately $2.6 million per contract, though individual values likely varied significantly.
The addresses provided for winners (such as 120 Broadway, 498 Seventh Avenue, etc.) suggest these are primarily US-based contractors, even though tender publications originated from multiple countries. This could indicate either that the awarded tenders were primarily from the US market, or that international contractors with US offices were successful in global procurement processes.
- Thornton Tomasetti Inc (120 Broadway)
- The Morganti Group
- The McKissack Group Inc (498 Seventh Avenue)
- Kemlot Global Associates Inc (648 Dorothea Lane)
- BIB Services Corp (1811 Bellmore Avenue)
Procurement Process Dynamics and Timelines
The average bid window for new tenders published on January 12, 2026, was 14.05 days. This relatively short timeframe places pressure on potential bidders to prepare and submit proposals quickly. A two-week response period is common for less complex Works projects or those following accelerated procurement schedules, but it may disadvantage smaller contractors with limited bidding resources.
This bid window metric, calculated specifically for the 38 new tenders, suggests procurement authorities are operating with efficiency targets or responding to urgent project needs. Contractors must therefore maintain readiness to respond to opportunities with minimal lead time. The consistency of this average across all new tenders implies standardized procurement practices among the publishing entities, at least for this particular day's publications.
The relationship between new tenders (38), closed tenders (8), and awarded tenders (5) shows that more tenders are entering the market than are exiting. The 8 closed tenders represent opportunities that reached their submission deadline, while the 5 awards indicate decisions made on previously closed tenders. The three-tender gap between closures and awards suggests some evaluation processes extended beyond the closure date or that not all closed tenders resulted in immediate awards.
- Average bid window: 14.05 days
- 38 new tenders published versus 8 closed
- 5 awards from previously closed tenders
- Short response times require bidder preparedness
