Market Overview: $2.84 Billion in New Non-Consulting Services Opportunities
January 16, 2026, marked a significant day for the Non-Consulting Services procurement category, with 100 new tenders announced representing a substantial total value of $2,844,503,248.87 USD. This surge in activity demonstrates robust demand across various non-consulting service sectors, creating numerous opportunities for service providers globally.
The day's activity saw 30 tenders closing, indicating active competition and procurement cycles reaching completion. However, only 4 tenders were formally awarded, suggesting that many procurement processes remain in evaluation stages or that awards are being processed at a measured pace relative to the volume of new opportunities.
The concentration of all 100 new tenders within the Non-Consulting Services sector itself, as indicated by the top sectors data, confirms this analysis focuses exclusively on this procurement category without spillover into consulting or other service types. This pure sector focus provides clear insights for businesses specializing in non-consulting services.
- 100 new tenders announced in Non-Conservicing Services category
- Total new tender value: $2.84 billion USD
- 30 tenders closed on January 16, 2026

Geographical Distribution and Market Concentration
The geographical distribution of new Non-Consulting Services tenders on January 16, 2026, reveals strong concentration in specific markets. The United Kingdom accounted for 54 of the 100 new tenders, representing more than half of all opportunities. South Africa followed with 40 tenders, making these two countries responsible for 94% of the day's new Non-Consulting Services procurement activity.
The United States and Canada showed significantly lower activity with 5 and 1 new tenders respectively. This distribution suggests that procurement authorities in the United Kingdom and South Africa were particularly active in sourcing Non-Consulting Services on this date, potentially indicating specific initiatives, fiscal cycles, or regulatory drivers in these markets.
For service providers, this geographical concentration means that focusing business development efforts on the United Kingdom and South African markets would provide access to the vast majority of current opportunities. The limited activity in North America suggests either different procurement cycles or potentially greater use of alternative procurement methods in those regions for Non-Consulting Services.
- United Kingdom: 54 new tenders (54% of total)
- South Africa: 40 new tenders (40% of total)
- United States: 5 new tenders
- Canada: 1 new tender
Award Analysis and Competitive Landscape
Award activity in the Non-Consulting Services category on January 16, 2026, was limited despite the high volume of new opportunities. Only 4 tenders were awarded with a total value of $2,678,195 USD. This represents a small fraction of the $2.84 billion in new opportunities announced, indicating either that awards are lagging behind new tender announcements or that many procurement processes have longer evaluation periods.
The awarded contracts went to four distinct organizations: American Society of Civil Engineers, The Door-A Center of Alternatives Inc, Dice It Solutions Limited Liability Company, and Omega Care Solutions Inc. Each organization won one contract, showing a diversified award distribution rather than concentration with a single provider.
The disparity between the $2.84 billion in new opportunities and the $2.68 million in awarded contracts suggests that most of the high-value tenders announced on January 16 are still in the bidding or evaluation phases. This creates a pipeline of future award opportunities for service providers who respond to the current new tenders.
- 4 tenders awarded totaling $2,678,195 USD
- Each winning organization secured exactly one contract
- Awarded value represents less than 0.1% of new tender value
- Diverse award distribution across four different organizations
Strategic Implications and Bid Planning
The average bid window of 21.6 days for Non-Consulting Services tenders provides crucial planning information for potential bidders. This three-week timeframe is consistent with standard public procurement cycles and allows sufficient time for proposal development, but requires prompt attention to new opportunities as they are announced.
The concentration of opportunities in the United Kingdom and South Africa suggests that service providers with operations or partnerships in these markets have a significant advantage. Companies without presence in these regions may need to consider local partnerships or establish local entities to compete effectively for these opportunities.
The low number of awards relative to new tenders indicates that the current market is in an 'opportunity gathering' phase, with many competitions just beginning. Service providers should monitor this category closely as the awards from these 100 new tenders will materialize in the coming weeks and months, potentially representing significant contract wins.
Given that all 100 new tenders fall within the Non-Consulting Services category, providers can be confident that the opportunities align with their service offerings without needing to filter out consulting or other service types. This clarity allows for more efficient business development resource allocation.
- Average 21.6-day bid window requires prompt response to opportunities
- Geographical focus necessitates local market presence or partnerships
- Current high volume of new tenders creates future award pipeline
- Pure Non-Consulting Services focus simplifies opportunity targeting
